(8 Apr 1979) STORY Three-times winner of this famous Steeplechase 'Red Rum' paraded before the crowds at Aintree Racecourse before the start of the Race. There were many fallers in this year's race, at Fence No 15 - The Chair - loose horses cutting across the field caused many jockeys and their mounts to be parted. At the Post it was 'Rubstic' first, 'Zongalero' second with 'Rough and Tumble' just beaten into third place. 'Rubstic's' victory was the first Grand National to go to a Scottish trained horse and a proud Scottish owner, ex-Rugby Union International, John Douglas.
