This history details the great winners such as Red Rum - 3 times across the finishing line; the great personalities, such as Bob Champion and Dick Francis; the spectacular wins such as the outsider Foinavon who missed a pile-up in 1960 to win at odds of 100 to 1. The momentous feats of horses and jockeys; the outrageous anecdotes, the heartbreak, the scandal, the ecstasy of a fabulous sporting occasion are all chronicled.
