I put £20 that day on Aldaniti and Bob in London, England. I'd followed him at Marsden. Later after that win, I met Bob. And we fed strawberries to Aldaniti. Best memory, love you Bob. You are both bloody champions. xx

1981 was a golden year for Grand National and Derby

Until I read this story (and saw the film starring John Hurt), my knowledge of the Grand National came from Enid Bagnold.
