Customer Reviews

Adore Aintree?
If you love the Grand National, you'll love this DVD. In particular, it contains all three of Red Rum's winning races and I'm not aware that this footage is available anywhere else. When you see him flying towards the winning post "like a fresh horse in great style", as described by Peter O'Sullevan - not once - but three times, if you're not already a huge fan of this exceptional horse you soon will be. It features other Aintree triumphs of course, including Bob Champion's memorable win on Aldaniti.

they are the greatest races
To have the voice of racing narrating, his knowledge is unsurpassed. The BBC coverage is fascinating. The rare blank and white coverage is a curious coverage of the darker days of the National. Maybe a DVD could be made of the pathe news reels going back to the 1920's and the colour broadcasts of the 1960's.

Brillaint DVD
Fantastic opportunity to relive some great races. Obviously Red Rums victories stand out but to see again Foinavons amazing win in 1967 is wonderful. And the races are shown in their entirety. My only complaint is that they haven't issued a follow up disc of further great nationals maybe this time digging up newsreel footage and going back before the television era. If they do I'll certainly cough up for it. Now if only BBC would do something similar with the rest of their racing archives - how about great Gold Cups, Champion Hurdles etc in their entirety also for starters.
