Watching this now after all these years and the hairs stand up on back of my neck when Durham Edition hits the front. Coming from the same village as the owner and drinking in the same pub as Robert ' Bob ' Oxley, who sadly passed away earlier this year in his 90s, just brings back a mixture of emotions.

I have on VHS every single race from 1988 to present day with all the build up from the start ..love the national

thanks for the upload. Brings back some great memories of the day itself for me. Lovely to see some romance in the shape of the rank outside where not all runners blandly rated 155-142.

....great recovery at Bechers first time by the winner....

One of the best National winners. He had a big weight and was all but down at Bechers first time round he was last jumping foinavon

I was 27 years old at that point in my life, i had Durham Edition, my heart was beating so fast as i thought my £2 bet had won, but that long run in done my horse as its done so many over the years, pretty sure i launched some sort of ornament we had at that time. 😂😂

Duram edition what a legend of the national some real old favourites in that renual

I backed Rhyme N Reason, love this race.

Hi again its ok I can view it on my PC I was having trouble viewing the race on my IPhone ok now thank you.

I won my first and ever bet in the grand national on rhyme n reason looking back at the video that was one of the happiest grand national horse,it's like the horse was saying LET go we will see who is best 🤣

My horse won! Thought it was a early faller as nobody mentioned it until the second circuit. It looked beaten after the last fence but what a come back! £50 up

This was 30 years ago but I was still getting jitters from that build-up. The BBC's format was different from the other race days (O'Sullevan commentating the circle-round, betting set to music) but still understated.

hi do you have any other extended footage of the nationals

The last time I backed a National winner ! Do you remember how excited we were backing this in Blackley , Corina ?

How the hell it won after doing the splits at Beecher brook first time around beggars believe, fantastic by horse and jockey 🏇

Just catching me breath . Mint race , cheers me dears : )

Carnage!

...sounds like Bill Smith in the commentary box...

hi again Eddie, any chance of more extended grand nationals. been great to see thanks.

Marcolo fell, the rider Venetia Williams broke her neck, but went on to be a successful trainer afterwards.

What is the music that comes up with the betting show on 5:35?

Hi Eddie, do you per chance have extended coverage of 1983 GN or the 1980 or 1981 aintree foxhunters - the races themselves?

This is great.Always wonder if Little Polvier would have won if he had not clouted the 26th?The winner was in a different class really,hard to imagine a horse coming to a standstill and winning nowadays!

Hi sorry to trouble you but I cannot view this video please help thank you, Paul.

Who done that song when the betting goes through ?

I used to work weekends where he was bred

11:44

...nothing Grand about it these days...

Kevin Cooills 15

One brave horse considering he fractured his pelvis at beecher brook first time around doing the splits sadly he he never raced again.

I all wise wonder why did they ask the jockeys to put the horse's nose close to the type

My first win when I was 12 I gave my 50p pocket money to my dad to place the bet,he told me it was a waste of money was he so wrong lol

Had £5 on him at 14/1, apparently David Elsworth had a hell of a job persuading the owner to run...phew 👌

The national is awful now, such a shame.
