I believe most of the ITV 7 from that era exists, it's the actual World of Sport programmes that have been largely wiped.

Wonderful to see Rummy again , safe to say his Grand National record will never be bettered , simply a marvellous steeplechaser .

this is great to see thanks for posting

Great to see this footage of my all-time favourite horse for the first time. Rummy would only be a six year-old here.

Great to see him again.

Red Rum wearing blinkers 👀

Red Rum was a very modest chaser.....until Ginger McCain got hold of him in 1972. For example, he was allotted bottom weight in the long handicap for the 1972 Scottish National of all entries. He then improved a significant amount for his 1973 National win - stones

Remember, he was coming into his prime as an eight year old when Ginger ran him in his first National. At nine he was at his absolute peak; giving a pound and a beating to L'Escargot; one of only five horses since Arkle to have won more than one Cheltenham Gold Cup (and that includes Galopin Des Champs, who has just done it).

Nice to look back at memorable races at Catterick, but I would have expected some footage about God's Solution as well....

Dessie ran in the Irish Grand National in 1990 and won it.

Great Memories, but the course looks like a point to point compaired to Todays courses tho.

I wonder who owned him at that time because they’re not the colours that won his Grand Nationals for Noel le Mare in 1973, 1974 and 1977.

@@christinenolan4594I cannot find any owner’s name before Noel Le Mare bought him as an 7 year old in 1972. Red Rum was bred by Martyn McEnery in Ireland. He himself named him as Red Rum by taking the last three letters of his sire Quorum and his dam Mared. His first race was as a 2 year old in a 5f sprint in which he dead heated. Ironically that race was at Aintree. I can only assume that as Mr McEnery named him, then he owned him until he was sold to Mr Le Mare.

@@christinenolan4594 well researched Christine! Yes, Lurline Brotherton was the owner of Red Rum before Noel Le Mare bought him in 1972. She sent him to the sales because of the ever increasing vet’s bills for treatment of Red Rum’s pedalostitis. Interestingly, Mrs Brotherton had won the Grand National with Freebooter in 1950.

According to Wikipedia Red Rum was passed from training yard to training yard before Southport car dealer Ginger McCain bought him for his client Noel le Mare. Any idea who trained the horse before Ginger McCain and how much he bought him for?

He started with Tim Molony, and then Bobby Renton (I think), so he wasn't yet running in the famous Noel LeMare colours here.
