also because its no longer the grand national we knew 😢😢 even shortening the run to the first this year. one day it will be a 5 furlong sprint with no fences 😆😆
@@alanrossreviewskilled it when they filled the drop at bechers. All the horses then go down the inside. Stupid weak people running this sport now, haven’t got a clue
Thank you so much for finding this.marvelous to to see rummy racing apart from the nationals.l didnt think this footage still existed. Cheers once more.
I'm sure Bobby Renton trained him first as a 2yo ,my great governor the late L H Tommy Shedden was head lad to him before he started training in his own right in Boston Spa ,then moved to Wetherby Grange becoming wetherbys most successful trainer flat and NH.
Red Rum was a very modest chaser.....until Ginger McCain got hold of him in 1972. For example, he was allotted bottom weight in the long handicap for the 1972 Scottish National of all entries. He then improved a significant amount for his 1973 National win - stones
Remember, he was coming into his prime as an eight year old when Ginger ran him in his first National. At nine he was at his absolute peak; giving a pound and a beating to L'Escargot; one of only five horses since Arkle to have won more than one Cheltenham Gold Cup (and that includes Galopin Des Champs, who has just done it).
According to Wikipedia Red Rum was passed from training yard to training yard before Southport car dealer Ginger McCain bought him for his client Noel le Mare. Any idea who trained the horse before Ginger McCain and how much he bought him for?
@@christinenolan4594I cannot find any owner’s name before Noel Le Mare bought him as an 7 year old in 1972. Red Rum was bred by Martyn McEnery in Ireland. He himself named him as Red Rum by taking the last three letters of his sire Quorum and his dam Mared. His first race was as a 2 year old in a 5f sprint in which he dead heated. Ironically that race was at Aintree. I can only assume that as Mr McEnery named him, then he owned him until he was sold to Mr Le Mare.
@@christinenolan4594 well researched Christine! Yes, Lurline Brotherton was the owner of Red Rum before Noel Le Mare bought him in 1972. She sent him to the sales because of the ever increasing vet’s bills for treatment of Red Rum’s pedalostitis. Interestingly, Mrs Brotherton had won the Grand National with Freebooter in 1950.
The sprint for 2 year olds at Aintree. Mother was Quorum a sprinter, sire was a sprinter. Red Rum basically was bred to win the Aintree 2 year old race. Lester called him a freak

Wonderful to see Rummy again , safe to say his Grand National record will never be bettered , simply a marvellous steeplechaser .

It's a hurdle race nowadays!

I believe most of the ITV 7 from that era exists, it's the actual World of Sport programmes that have been largely wiped.
That jumps really well 👍, I'm on that horse 🐴 for the national, when is out next 😉
A star was born
Great to see this footage of my all-time favourite horse for the first time. Rummy would only be a six year-old here.
Fantastic❤
Great to see him again.
this is great to see thanks for posting
First owner was Mrs Brotherton and trained by T.Gillam in N.Yorkshire I believe.(That was a hit for the Bachelors)😅
I'm sure Bobby Renton trained him first as a 2yo ,my great governor the late L H Tommy Shedden was head lad to him before he started training in his own right in Boston Spa ,then moved to Wetherby Grange becoming wetherbys most successful trainer flat and NH.
It was a hit for Frankie Laine first !
Different colours same jockey to national runs

He started with Tim Molony, and then Bobby Renton (I think), so he wasn't yet running in the famous Noel LeMare colours here.
Lester piggott won on him as a 2year old
Actually I think piggot was a dead heat at Leicester..
The greatest National horse ever
To me Desert orchid
No Dessie was never in the Grand National@@janakakumara1875
@@janakakumara1875 Dessie never ran in a National.
Dessie ran in the Irish Grand National in 1990 and won it.

Nice to look back at memorable races at Catterick, but I would have expected some footage about God's Solution as well....

I wonder who owned him at that time because they’re not the colours that won his Grand Nationals for Noel le Mare in 1973, 1974 and 1977.
Was it Mrs.Bretherton?
or Brotherton?

Lurline Brotherton sent Red to Doncaster sales in 1972,I believe.

There's me thinking that Stack first rode him the 1976 GN
Another track that used to have a Water Jump
what was the name of this race red rum won and now is the race called
Charles Vickery Memorial Handicap Chase.
Great Memories, but the course looks like a point to point compaired to Todays courses tho.
Red rum in different colours..
When chasing was chasing…
Didn't Lester piggott win on red rum ..as a 2 year old
Red Rum's first race was a 5f sprint, where I believe he dead-heated for 1st.
The sprint for 2 year olds at Aintree. Mother was Quorum a sprinter, sire was a sprinter. Red Rum basically was bred to win the Aintree 2 year old race. Lester called him a freak
....yep...at the 1967 Grand National meeting...
@@chatham43 that was what he was bred for, the opening 2 year old was worth money.
Once ridden by Lester Piggott
@@stephenholmes1036 yes good memory.
Ridden by Lester Piggott,Basil.
Very dubious about this footage. Colour TV and commentary for a minor race at Catterick in 1971???
