In modifying the course and fences Aintree have preserved his legacy. The race now is a fraction of what it was in Red Rum’s day so even if another horse wins 3 now it won’t hold a candle to Red Rum’s achievements as the race was so much more challenging back then.

Red Rum the greatest of all time ... he had bad feet and never fell in over 100 races ... he carried 12 stone top weight to win the national in a record time looking as easy as any horse has ever looked in winning ... he will never be surpassed, he is a legend, he is RED RUM

The one and only our rummy.

When names are written in the depths of history this horse has got to be in there surely

I'm glad Red Rum had a long life. He was wonderful. Thank you for this video.

A wonderful tribute to this legendary horse.

There will never be another red rum,

Amazingly wonderful how many thousands of people loved this wonderful horse xx

He was special, no horse will ever do what he did, never fell, people forget the fences were bigger then too! I saw him when he was retired at the yard, very very intelligent little horse, much missed❤

Red Rum and Ginger McCain my two favourite human beings loads of love

You know only one of them is a human, right?

Arkle would now run in the Grand National (and probably win multiple times)... They wouldn't risk the greatest horse of all time (Arkle) on such a hard and dangerous race. Red Rum was the best jumper ever; & the greatest Grand National horse. Will never be beaten, because it is not the same race. Two different, but shining STARS, both of them... ARKLE and RED RUM.

Brings back so many happy memories hope there all happy in heaven 💕

God bless lovely boy.

There will only be one Red Rum

True legend...

Tiny Red Rum,boy could he jump!! WHAT A HORSE 🐎🐎

I'm so grateful I was alive at the same time as Red and that I got to see him a few times. He was and always will be a genuine legend.

Frankel enable winx black caviar bollocks rummy is the greatest horse thank you rummy I love you so much tough as stale bread hard as concrete but soft as shit a true legend the greatest

Thank you for uploading this. As a Rummy fan it's a very special programme to me. My grandad recorded it for me on VHS when it first aired and every time i went to his house I would watch it. I was only 11 at the time and loved Red Rum. Glad he lived to 30, what a wonderful horse he was.

Amazing footage Red Rum magnificent

Thanks for posting. Love this horse.

Red Rum the most famous and beautiful horse ever, miss watching him race ...will there ever be another Red Rum???

No. He was a wonderful and very beautiful freak of nature and they've now theyve changed the course at Aintree so much it wouldn't matter if one won 3 times its no where near the same as what he achieved. RIP to a true legend.

Sobering thought utterly Arkle would have had to concede 35lbs to Red Rum, 17lbs to Desert Orchid and Kauto Star.

But would Arkle have got over those fences?

I went to his grave
