And L'Escargot is going to avenge last year's defeat. Tommy Carberry is gonna become the first jockey in history to win the Gold Cup, the Irish National and the English National as L'Escargot strides near 12 years old to win the National for Raymond Guest, and here he comes to the line, L'Escargot the comfortable winner of the 1975 National!


The 1975 Grand National was the 129th renewal of the world-famous Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 5 April 1975.

The race was won by 13/2 second-favourite L'Escargot, ridden by Tommy Carberry, in a time of nine minutes and 31.1 seconds and by a distance of 15 lengths over 7/2 favourite Red Rum, who was thus denied a third consecutive win.
