Does anyone know what odds Red Rum had on him for each of this Grand National runs?

[edit] The Shining

Is "red rum" in the movie a reference to the horse? I think it's murder backwards, and nothing horsey at all. Any one got a reference to support either way? Paddy 08:10, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Lee Mack was Red Rum's stableboy in the 80's - is that worth noting as trivia? --172.212.243.142 09:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

This needs to put in: Red Rum was flat bred, he won (dead headed) in a 5f flat race at LIVERPOOL at 2 y.o. (where he would go back to to become a legend). At one time ridden by the great Lester Piggott, yet he went on to win National Hunt racing's longest race 3 times and 2nd twice!!! - Just mentioning, in that 2 y.o. race he dead headed with a filly called Curlicue [1] [2]. Both Red Rum and Curlicue were bred by Martyn McEnery (co. Kilkenny) and both went to the sales together to be sold to England, funny!! - Culnacréann 19:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
