Highlights of the 1962 Grand National (British Pathé) |
The 1962 Grand National was the 116th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England, on 31 March 1962.
The race was won by Kilmore, a 28/1 shot ridden by jockey Fred Winter. The 12-year-old horse was trained by Ryan Price. Wyndburgh was second, and Mr. What finished third. Thirty-two horses ran and all returned safely to the stables.
Build Up
Seventy seven entries were received and published on January 5th 1962 with Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, Pas Seul topping the handicap ratings. Two former winners of the race, Merrymen II and Mr What were also entered, along with the defending champion, Nicolaus Silver and two entries, The Rip and Out of Town for Her Majesty the Queen. Only one entry, Cantina, from Ireland wasn't qualified to receive a handicap rating and would be allocated automatic top weight of 12 stones. [1]
