1901 Grand National
The 1901 Grand National was the 63rd renewal of the world-famous Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 29 March 1901. The race was run in a howling snowstorm and was won by the 9/1 chance, Grudon. 〔http://www.sportsbookguardian.com/horse-racing/grand-national/winners

==Leading Contenders==
Grudon was among the leading contenders on the day but with the weather conditions being what they were, most of the trainers and jockeys knew that the race would be reduced to little more than a lottery. Trainer Bernard Bletsoe hit on the idea to pack Grudon's hooves with butter in the hope that this would prevent snow from clogging in them. 〔 Sporting Life Souvenir Magazine, 4 April 1987, page 22 〕 It is not recorded if any of the other trainers followed this example but it worked as Grudon, a horse who was not rated that highly by his rider, Arthur Nightingall set off without any difficulty while most of the other competitors struggled. Legend has it that Nightingall became so confident that he hacked around most of the second circuit alongside Algy Anthony on his struggling mount Covert Hack until leaving his rival behind with the words "Well I must be going now so ta ta" 〔 http://www.lavendonconnection.com/1901_Grand_National.htm 〕
