- Summary
- The course is four miles, 836 yards and 30 obstacles have to be negotiated. Only slow motion can adequately reveal the beautiful sight of the huge ‘field’, taking the first jump. Safely over the first five jumps, Bechers Brook with its dreaded 3 ft 3 ins drop is reached. Our unique slow-motion-stop camera shows you how they jumped and fell at Bechers Brook. Canal turn. Valentine’s Brook - 4 ft high and 3 ft wide with a brook 6 ft 6 ins on the other side. Now again - ever so gracefully, in slow motion. Over the water jump and then off for the second circuit and 20 still standing. Grief again, at Bechers - G Goswell on "May King", amongst others - taking a nasty toss. (Watch it in slow-motion). The grand National’s most thrilling finish for years, T Cullinan squeezing "Shaun Collin", home by a neck from "Mellerays Belle", and, "Sir Lindsay".
