Description
L'Escargot's remarkable career in steeplechasing is a testament to his incredible talent and endurance. He achieved two of the most prestigious victories in British racing, winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National, as well as triumphing on the flat, over hurdles, and over fences at various distances. L'Escargot's success spanned nine seasons, with victories in some of the biggest races in Britain, Ireland, and the USA. His most dramatic win came in 1975, when he surged clear of Red Rum to claim victory in the Grand National on a day that was marked by controversy rather than celebration. For those who had managed his career since 1966, L'Escargot's Grand National win was the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. This book tells the story of this remarkable horse and his incredible achievements in the world of steeplechasing.
