The 1980 Grand National (officially known asThe Sun Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 134th renewal of the Grand Nationalhorse race that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England, on 29 March 1980. The race, which carried the title, the World's greatest steeplechase, was won by Ben Nevis, ridden by the American amateur rider Charlie Fenwick.[1] Only 4 horses finished the race out of 30 starters.
And it's Ben Nevis getting tremendous American cheers here, here's a historic triumph here, the second American amateur to win the National since the war. He's coming up to the line the comfortable winner, Ben Nevis, trained by Tim Foster, who trained the winner with Well To Do, and he's won the National, Ben Nevis Wins the National.
The twenty-first Grand National covered live on the BBC in a Grandstand special presented by David Coleman.
