The 1910 Grand National was an overly remarkable one, but it will forever be one that goes down in history and is mentioned when speaking about the history of the race.
This is because it is the earliest Grand National where has moving pictures of the race were available, so it was the first time anyone away from the racecourse on the day was able actually to see what happened in motion.
The winner on the day was Jenkinstown, who came away to record a winning distance of three lengths.
The winner was a four-time runner in the race, but when he won in 1910, it would be the only time he actually completed the course, and he was sent off with a starting price of 100/8.
Not many managed that feat either, ran on good to soft ground, and just five of the 25 runners would get around the course and complete.
Trainer of Jenkinstown was Tom Coulthwaite, and this was the second of three successes he would have in the Grand National. He would win the race in 1907 before and 1931 towards the end of his career.
Bob Chadwick rode the winner, and this was his only win in the race, from a total of 10 attempts.
