Odd Grand National Facts

Actress Elizabeth Taylor famously won the Grand National in 1945 riding "The Pie" to victory. We must say the victory only happened in the movie 'National Velvet' and not on the Aintree course, sadly Liz was stripped of her title in the movie once it was discover she was - A LADY!

1945 proved a unhappy year for male riders in the nation's as 4 prior winning jockeys died in service in the 2nd World War. They were Frank Furlong who won in 1935 on Reynoldstown, Bobby Everett who won in 1929 on Gregalach, Mervyn Jones who won on Bogskar in 1940 and Tommy Cullinan who rode Shaun Goilin to victory in 1930.

500K Grand Countrywide Win

Wonder horse Silverbirch helped one Irish man to a half million euro win after the 2007 Aintree Grand Countrywide. The nameless married man staked his money on a 4 horse accumulator and included the grand national in his bet.

Once all 3 had bounced home he headed back to the bookies to look at his last horse, ten / one Paymaster General run at Lingfield.

First Time A Charm

In 1924 the Old Etonian and Grenadier Guard Lord Manners of Foston claimed, in the Times Literary Supplement, that he only rode in two races in his life and, quite amazingly, he won them both. So what were these races? They were the 1882 Grand National and the Grand Military Gold Cup of the same year. Is this remarkable or strange? Well, let's put it this way - it would be like picking up a tennis racket for the first time and winning Wimbledon and the French Open in the same year!

It may appear absolutely mad to incorporate the Grand State , one of the most unpredictable races, in an accumulator bet except for this very fortunate man the risk paid off and he walked home with over half 1,000,000 EU Buck in his pocket!

The Irish Grand State's Early History

The Irish Grand National first took place in 1870 and the following six years of it's history would produce some terribly bizzare if not unlucky tales! In 1871 a horse by the name of Mabel Gray raced home at ten / one but this was no thoroughbred because Mabel Gray was acquired for 5 bob from a knackers yard. And if that wasn't enough triumph over difficulty she then went on to supply the 1881 British Grand National winner!

Two years on, in 1873, Scots Gray came in second place but only after the horse had bolted into the gambling ring scattering the bookies. His rider, Garry Moore, got him back on track but not fast enough to take the Grand National.

He attempted again the next year but only managed 3rd place so in 1875, and 3rd time being a charm, Scots Gray eventually won the Irish Grand National.

This in itself isn't so weird but there had been a delay in the official verdict in which time a young clerk fom Dublin, convinced that Scots Gray had lost ( he had backed him with money that wasn't his ) left the course and committed suicide!

The following year, 1876, the race was won by a horse called - and this is true - Grand National!

Colorado Loses at Nebraska

Alex Henery kicked a 57-yard field goal (a school record) to lift the Nebraska Cornhuskers over the Colorado Buffaloes. The field goal came with under 2 minutes left to go in the game.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers finish with a record of (8-4, 5-3 Big 12).

The Colorado Buffaloes finish with a record of (5-7, 2-6 Big 12).

The field goal kicked by Henery was enough to beat Colorado even though the Cornhuskers picked off Ndamukong Suh and ran it back for a touchdown with under a minute remaining. The final score was 40-31 in favor of the Cornhuskers.

Colorado had upset on the mind. They got off to a fast start. They scored two of their touchdowns within the first ten minutes of the game. They scored on their first four offensive plays to take a two touchdown lead early in the game. Things seemed to be in their favor but do things change quickly.

Colorado scored their first touchdown within the first minutes of the game. Josh Smith, Colorado’s sophomore WR, took the opening kickoff to the 42 yard line. Cody Hawkins, Colorado QB, passed the ball to TE Riar Geer, a junior, for a 68 yard touchdown on only the second play of the game to put them up.

Nebraska punted on their first possession from their own end zone. Hawkins passed for 44 yards to Josh Smith. Demetrius Sumler ran the ball back around the left end for 36 yards for Colorado’s next score.

“We knew we wanted to get a fast start,” Colorado coach Dan Hawkins said. “We talked about that the last couple weeks. I think it’s important obviously when you play on the road to get that going and get that momentum happening.”

Nebraska was in a hole and they had to respond or else this game was going to get out of hand early. They connected on the next two drives with Joe Gans throwing two touchdown passes. One of the passes was a two yard throw Nate Swift. The other was a 53 yard pass to Mike McNeill. This was promising to be a good game as the first quarter ended with a tied game at 14 points each.

Both teams managed to score only 3 points in the second quarter. Nebraska took their first lead of the game on a 35-yard field goal by Henery.

Colorado’s Aric Goodman made a long 38 yard field goal to even the score at 17.

Quentin Castille rushed for 1 yard to go up by a touchdown. Colorado fumbled the kickoff and Nebraska was in the position to be up possibly by 10 but they went for a fake field goal. The fake field goal didn’t work and Colorado recovered the fumble. They returned it 58 yard to tie the score at 24 points prior to halftime.

Nebraska led by 3 after a field goal kick in the third quarter.

Colorado’s Hawkins completed passes to Geer and Deehan on their next drive. This put them up 31-27.

Nebraska kicked a 37 yard field goal on their next possession to come within one point of Colorado.

Nebraska took the lead on a 57-yard field goal on an almost impossible 4th and 25. Colorado was trying to score to upset Nebraska but unfortunately they didn’t get the chance. Colorado’s Hawkins pass was tipped and intercepted by Nebraska. They ran the interception back and that was the game for Colorado.
