The equivalent of a Muhammad Ali to the Grand National,the World's greatest Steeplechase.To win on the most Gruelling course 3 times in 5 years ,finishing second twice ,jumping the last fence in the lead in 4 consecutive years and not making a single mistake may never be equaled in Grand National History.Red Rum may not be in the same class as Arkle,Desert Orchid or Golden Miller on Park Courses but his achievements overall place him perhaps only behind Arkle.Red Rum's tenacity was reminiscent of an army commander and he commanded the popularity of a Hollywood Star.There has never been a better Grand National horse and possibly there will never be one!
