The only moving images of the race turned up in a London auction in 2007, found by Angus Loughran, and first shown to the public in a BBC documentary The Big Flutter: The Grand National on Film in 2011.[1]
Torrential rain caused many riders to fall. Twenty-two out of the twenty-six runners failed to finish.
The race was won by the 20:1 shot Glenside, a broken winded one-eyed horse, ridden by Jack Anthony. He went into the lead after Caubeen and Rathnally collided after Becher's Brook, as the only horse that wasn't remounted, and went on to a twenty length victory. He was followed by Rathnally, Shady Girl and in fourth place Fool-Hardy, the only horses to finish the race.[2][3]
