The old adage is each extra 1lb carried slows a horse 1/2 length over a mile, so think what 23lbs extra slowed Crisp over the Grand National distance. It's a shame they made Crisp carry the Grandstand that day but he was the best Steeple Chaser in the world at that time, and Red Rum was still a Youngster on the way up.

I would like to address a few things from the comments below. Many claim Crisp to be the greater horse as he would have beaten Red Rum on level weights. Sadly for Crisp, the Grand National is a handicap race, and although there was a big weight advantage to Red Rum the fact that there was so little between them as they crossed the line shows the handicapper did a fantastic job at assessing the weights (between Rummy and Crisp anyway). Others claim the 12 stone Crisp carried was a huge weight that anchored him. I have to point out that Red Rum won easily the following year carrying 12 stone. Some accuse Dick Pitman of having a terrible race on Crisp. I really find this hard to believe. I agree he made an error with the whip approaching the elbow, but Crisp blew away a field including top class horses (L'Escarcot and Spanish Steps spring to mind), and was only beaten by the horse with the best Grand National record in history, who had to break the race record to do it. But for coming up against Rummy he would have won easily, and everyone would be saying how well Pitman had ridden Crisp. Crisp ran his heart out with sound tactics from the jockey, but was beaten by a horse with more stamina on the handicap.

@@ElizabethCoral - some class horses contested the National in the mid seventies. Perhaps trainers didn;t want the course to be sold off to the developers, and entered their best horses in the race?

I LOVE THAT LITTLE HORSE BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT RUMMY'S VICTORY WAS CRISP'S TRAGEDY.

No handicapping in football.

Rummy what a horse he was!

In my view the best horse race of all time, even if the better horse didn‘t win because the weight handicap was just too much..🤷🏼‍♂️

How can you call it the national now it’s over hurdles
