    You just can't replicate these days of racing. Was so exciting. Makes me want to cry to see Gingers little horse battling to the end. He died 27 April 2017. R.I.P Amberleigh House. You gave me one of my happiest days in my memory. R.I.P. too Ginger reunited with your mate Rummy.

    My son work rode Amberleigh for Ginger McCain , the little horse was out of Buckskin , and Ginger took me into his stable which belonged to Red Rum , another hero of mine , and I was aghast at how small he was , goodness me that horse had the courage of a lion ….I backed him at 16/1 and won a fair bit ….I will never forget him , a beautiful dark coat and a soft liquid eye , he was a true hero …….God bless him …….another horse I met that had the same presence was Sea Pidgeon ….

    I picked Amberleigh house to win after reading Ginger Mccain article in newspaper a couple of days before the race. He was waxing lyrical about his little horse and said it will definitely stay and to back it as it will finish in first 3. He said it was his best horse for national since Red Rum so i had to go for it.
    I also drew it out in work sweep stake, so won that too. Best national i ever had.

    Graham Lee executed the Brian Fletcher tactic of 1973; he hunted the first circuit, realised Hedgehunter had gone off too fast, and waited. He took advantage of tired horses, on a proven stayer. That's the reason Graham Lee is one of the best jockeys ever, and one of the very few to have ridden the winners of big races under both codes (Lester Piggot won a Triumph Hurdle, then run at Hurst Park in the 1950's).

I actually saw Amerliegh House and Clan Royal a few months earlier at Aintree, and the race they gave the fans was something I won't forget.. a brilliant horse, a horse we came to love.. may God Bless his soul, and reunite him with Ginger :)

    At the last fence an exhausted Hedgehunter fell heavily and just lay there, we all thought he was dead, but happily he got up and went on to win the 2005 race. Ginger McCain was a wonderful trainer. Ruby let Hedgehunter run too free otherwise he would have won.

      A nail-biting finish, very reminiscent of Rummy's amazing and near impossible feat in '73! Amber so reminded me of Rummy too; his dogged detemination and relentless running style on the run-in. Think the noseband might have added to the similarities, too! ;) Fantastic little horse, he'll be sadly missed xxx

    Did anybody else find it weird how the front three for so long were all secondary colours? The three most famous colours in jumps racing (hemmings' green and yellow quarters, mcmanus' green with gold hoops and johnsons' blue body with green sleeves), yet all of them were the second best horse in the yard. How odd. Yet the great Amberleigh House came home to trounce them all.

    Bet on Amberleigh House on this race, for some reason the fact that it was Ginger McCain's runner stood out to me in a way that it never did in any other year before or since. My second winner in two years (Monty's Pass in 03) and haven't had another one since.

    My hairdresser and family friend came to our house on the Saturday morning of the race. He has a huge wardrobe of clothes, and believe it or not, was wearing a navy blue jumper with red and white striped sleeves!!! A few hours later, Amberleigh House won the Grand National with the jockey wearing the same!!! What are odds against that?

    Its just not the grand national nowadays with the smaller fences should change the name out of respect for previous winners. I don’t see a horse as small as tiger roll winning back to back in these days. Tiger roll is undoubtedly a legend though. Think we’ll see more back to back winners over the next 10-20 years

    Probably my fave Grand National finish of my generation, such drama from the last & romantic that Ginger McCain added to his training successes with Red Rum :) mind the only thing that's mystified me from this race, whatever happened to Clan Royal's jockey Liam Cooper? He disappeared from the racing scene a month or 2 afterwards for reasons unknown :/

      Took a lot of unfair stick for apparently losing control of the horse on the run-in - in actual fact had lost his whip when Clan Royal made a bad mistake a few fences out so did pretty well to keep him in with a shout under the circumstances...

    Anybody else think if AP had been on Clan Royal, he'd have got it home in first. The next year AP was on him but was unlucky to be hampered by a loose horse (I don't think he'd have won in 2005). Whereas Hedgehunter also had a much better jockey onboard in Ruby a year later who won on him.
