Red Rum

£39.50

Red Rum achieved an unmatched historic treble when he won the Grand National in 1973, 1974 and 1977. In 1973 he beat the great Australian chaser, Crisp who carried 23 pounds more than Red Rum. Red Rum just beat home the champion after Crisp tried to lead all the way. It is considered one of the greatest Grand Nationals in history. He came second in 1975 and 1976. In his first two victories, he was ridden by Brian Fletcher. In 1976 Tommy Stack replaced Fletcher after Fletcher had angered trainer Ginger McCain when telling the press the horse no longer felt right after a defeat in a race away from Aintree. Again Red Rum saved his best for Aintree but was held off by Rag Trade. The following year Stack rode him to his triumphant third Grand National. Published in a single limited edition of only 500 worldwide, each print is individually numbered and signed by Peter Deighan, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
