1In the history of horse racing, few horses have captured the affection of the British public like Red Rum. Today, three
2decades after his retirement, he is still one of the best-known and most beloved racehorses of all time. Red Rum was
3passed around to several owners before being purchased for Noel Le Mar. The agent who made the purchase was the
4now-legendary horse trainer Donald "Ginger" McCain. It wasn't apparent at the time, but Red Rum had a serious bone
5disease in his foot. For many horses (and many trainers) this would mean the end of a racing career before it even
6began. For Ginger and Red Rum, though, it was just an obstacle to greatness that had to be overcome. Red Rum's true
7talent came out in steeplechases (障碍赛马). His power, speed and jumping ability carried him to his first Grand National
8title in 1973. The very next year, Red Rum returned to take his second title. He was the first horse to take successive
9firsts since Reynoldstown in 1935-1936. Red Rum's spirit and grace had already begun to charm the leagues of Grand
10National fans. In the following two years, Red Rum lost out on the title, coming in second both times. When he returned
11in 1977 to try again, he was largely regarded as past his prime. He was 12 years old and not expected to place highly.
12He surprised sporting fans around the world when he came in a remarkable 25 lengths ahead of the nearest horse, taking
13his third Grand National win. To this day, Red Rum's third win is known as one of the greatest moments in horse racing
14history. Red Rum was headed for the Grand National once again in 1978 but suffered an injury in one of his heels shortly
15before the race. He was retired soon after, but his public life and fame by no means decreased with the end of his
16career. Red Rum traveled all over the country for various engagements. He often led pre-race parades at Aintree
17Racecourse and was a popular guest at charity benefits and public events.
