Absolutely love this, as other posts say, was the best day of the year...its so different now...wish it was still like this...you felt you were there, commentary superb...needs to return back to how it was, for NH fans....
This takes me back to happy memories , every year on national day the mums and dads of Liverpool would let their children pick a horse and we would all assemble around a tiny TV and cheer our selections on , I remember Crying watching Crisp getting collared on the line , there was so many bets placed by Liverpool households that betting shops wouldn't pay any winnings out until the Monday , fantastic upload Eddie 😀
What a lovely relationship between jockey and owner and jockey and mother. Jockey and Red Rum also, he never beat that horse up even when Ginger later asked him to. Brian Fletcher, what a legend.
50 years today. A story emerged many years later that Crisp was going to win the 1973 race if Grand National day fell on 1st April with Peter O'Sullevan recording a revised commentary and the winning post digitally moved forward. Alas it never happened.
Well done for a great upload. I have obviously watched the race many times (and still think Crisp will just hang on one day !) but have never seen any of the post-race presentations & interviews before. Wonderful stuff !
This is great to see, Thank you so much. Grand National day is my favourite day of the year, so feeling very sombre about tomorrow, but this has really made me feel better. Some cracking big old fashioned steeplechaser's on show.
Fantastic to see these post race nationals. Everything seems more controlled and less excitable than today's big races. David Colenan doing a good job fronting the interviews
Red Rum is the only racehorse in history to have won at 5 furlongs and 4 and half miles and both at the same track !! His first race ever was a 5 furlong seller on the flat at Aintree which he won and then he switched codes and eventually won the national three times :)
such amazing horses they are back then now I am not sure what kind of horses they are now all I can they are good but not good enough in the 4 miles yesterday
With hindsight (and I think he admitted this in later years) he should have held Crisp back a bit to conserve his energy for the run in). After the last fence he had nothing left because he had gone flat out and Brian Fletcher with 'Rummy' had plenty left in the tank to make up the ground. That said, one of the most memorable Nationals ever.
Incredible. Dick Pitman looks younger today than he did 47 years ago. Who thinks that this would be improved by Matt Chapman shouting and bawling like a 5 year old on a Haliborange overdose? Or some cacophony of trumpets hooting out fanfares before the start? Or just as they line up, handing over to some scouse git to read a poem ("They pound the turf those withered hooves, with withered fetlocks they do peruse."). Nostalgia's rubbish these days.
Ha ha... That's brilliant. You can thank the latter BBC years for introducing all that needless emotion. I suppose they had to ramp up the hype to compensate for the increasing blandness of the race.
@@tommotom7324 Yes, HYPE has killed most sporting events!! More inane chatter that can never deliver😑 It used to work for the F.A cup final because, that was our rare game of live football all season⚽
The paddock commentator for both Flat and NH racing on the BBC was Clive Graham who passed away in 1974. Recently retired jockey Jimmy Lindley took over from Clive and also did NH summarising as well in 1974/75 before Dick Pitman joined the BBC in the Autumn of '75
Just as a wee bit of petic licence, I've rewatched the Nationals, trying to imagine the race unfolding if the eventual winner had fellen at the first fence. Thus the eventual second goes on to win. It often helps to mute the commentary. Try it with this one and you get what would have been the most processional Grand National in history. I often think what on earth would Peter O'Sullevan have had to say because Crisp is so far ahead of Spanish Steps, Rouge Autumn and Spanish Steps that it's over by Becher's barring a fall.
50's 60's 70's 80s and 1990 to spring of1994 they didn't have any summer jump racing then now they do have summer jump racing it has takin a shine of this only not other but this race only plus those 4-mile domestic national chase race are race on there own no longer a Grand National trails race
Dick Pitman has always said that if he didnt give Crisp a few whacks after the last he would have won. When you look at it after the last fence , Crisp veers left and loses about 6 lengths.
rough autumn was ridden by John (Lord) Oaksey yet Peter O Sullivan keep say, Pat Buckley, riding him why does Peter O Sullivan what did John Oaksey have a fight with Peter O Sullivan or something please explain it to me then
Cliff Michlemore did the first, then Coleman had it until 1985 when Des Lynam took over (Frank Bough did 1977 for some reason). The BBC thought the appeal would be widened by having a non racing person front the coverage. Sue Barker carried on in the same mould until it was all ruined (IMO) with the advent of Clare Balding in 2008. She was good but by this time had started to believe her own publicity. The Lynam years were the golden age IMO.
@@richardjames712 was righting about David Coleman presenting the Grand National but Commentating in other sports not who was the first showing the Grand National
@@richardjames712 Coleman didnt front the programme in 77 as he was in dispute over his contract with the BBC that year. Agree entirely about Balding she was ok when she started out in the mid 90s but has now become a complete bore who these days appears to be more interested in wimmins and lesbians rights rather than the actual job she is paid handsomely to do

Great footage Eddie Cr. Such a nice lack of ceremony about these vintage Nationals.
Well done Eddie. Memories. I was 20.
brilliant to see the extended nationals now were not getting one . keep them coming eddie, you are a star mate.
What a lovely relationship between jockey and owner and jockey and mother. Jockey and Red Rum also, he never beat that horse up even when Ginger later asked him to. Brian Fletcher, what a legend.
Thank you for these excellent postings! In particular, the 1973 and 1974 Grand National extended coverage films are really 'top draw'. Thanks a lot!

Great stuff Eddie. More like this from the seventies or even sixties please.
Great to see the interviews after the race
Please put more of these extended highlights on
So good to see them especially from the 1970s
Please upload the 1976 Grand National with pre race and post race footage
Well done Eddie amazing post . Keep em coming
Well done up rummy
Thanku for this, can you download the 1977 grand national extended highlights
I passed the post onto Richard Pitman. He enjoyed Brian's analysis. Total gentleman.
Fantastic to see these post race nationals.
Everything seems more controlled and less excitable than today's big races.
David Colenan doing a good job fronting the interviews
Most things now are built around 'Hype' that can never live up to the expectation.. Hence now it feels flat & dissapointing!!!
Thank you so much!!!!! I’d love to see extended ‘81 if you have it.
love these abc wide world of sports played the race in the 70's thanks
Great👍 Love this channel Eddie🏇💜
Steve O' 71 thanks very much greatly appreciated
@@EddieCr Please upload the 1975 grand national with pre race footage and the 1976 grand national with pre race and post race footage

rest in Peace Brian Fletcher the only Jockey to have the Grand National Three time in on Red Alligator and the next two was this great Horse Red Rum
Up Rummy RIP
such amazing horses they are back then now I am not sure what kind of horses they are now all I can they are good but not good enough in the 4 miles yesterday
...Dick Pitman comes out with a lot of credit in his post-race interview...he must have been gutted...
A gentleman. So classy despite the disappointment.

Crisp the best horse to never have won the Grand National.Giving Rummie 23LB in weight and beaten just a few yards from end.

Aintree Nationals always create stories in sport never equalled

does any know if these horses are stand-bred horses or another kind of racing breed?

incredible that Crisp still finished 25 lengths ahead of L'Escargot.
@@tommotom7324 must have been some horse crisp!!
Gold cup winner lescargot
well beat,....great performance.
we still never heard of Sunday racing or evening jumps racing or summer jump racing
In the days before AW flat meetings in the Winter and no jumps racing from early June to early August Waqar.
Fletcher was correct the next horse to win the national started with the word red

rough autumn was ridden by John (Lord) Oaksey yet Peter O Sullivan keep say, Pat Buckley, riding him why does Peter O Sullivan what did John Oaksey have a fight with Peter O Sullivan or something please explain it to me then
the parade ring is now a park for children playing ground or so I think
and another thing he never mentions Richard Pitman last National ride
that is surprising David Coleman presenting I mean he commentator for other sport such as the football the athletic short-track speed skating etc etc
