THE GRAND NATIONAL AINTREE 1980s UK

The Grand National horse race, at Aintree Racecourse, a tipster offers his thoughts on the days runners. The sack on the ground next to him is where punters - if they so wish pay for the tip, ie throwing a few coins onto the sack. He has chalked the odds "001 7" on the ground. (I have never put money on a horse, so the "001 7" is just a guess, if you know differently let me know please.) I am not sure if he tipped the so called 'housewives favourite' jockey Richard Dunwoody who came home against all the odds to win the 1986 Grand National. Dunwoody was riding West Tip. Aintree, Liverpool, Lancashire, England circa 5th April 1986.
