Red Rum was an Irish champion Thoroughbred steeplechaser. He achieved an unmatched historic treble when he won the Grand National in 1973, 1974 and 1977, and also came second in the two intervening years, 1975 and 1976. From Wikipedia
The defending champion aims to become the first back-to-back winner since Red Rum as 34 runners prepare for today's race at Aintree.
