The game's question
Let the race run in your heads first, then choose the name together.
Every spring, the big horse race came into the house – on the radio first, then on the telly. At the Grand National, one horse won in 1973, won again in 1974, came second the next two years, then won a third time in 1977. No horse had ever done that before. Which horse was it? Circle its name together.
- Foinavon
- Red Rum
- Crisp
Need a hint?
Two short words, both beginning with the letter R. Who in your family stopped everything to watch the race?

Answer: Red Rum – three wins, in 1973, 1974 and 1977: a record.
Why this game : Cheering the same horse from the sofa brings the whole room back: who shouted loudest, who sat nearest the set.
