Hi thank you for the upload its a great race :-)
Charlie Fenwick is the only non British & Irish jockey to win the Grand national
thanks for putting it up
Thanks very much for putting this up Chatham. I am currently doing the research and rough drafting for what I hope will be the ultimate GN history website and 1980 had been the one glaring omission from the visual evidence since 1921.
