 Silent highlights of the 1923 Grand National (British Pathé) |
The 1923 Grand National was the 82nd renewal of the world-famous Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England, on 23 March 1923.
The race was won by Sergeant Murphy, a 13-year-old 100/6 shot ridden by jockey Captain Tuppy Bennett and trained by George Blackwell for owner Stephen Sanford, who collected the £5,000 prize for the winner.
Shaun Spadah finished in second place, with Conjuror II in third and Punt Gun fourth. Twenty-eight horses ran and all returned safely to the stables.
In attendance at Aintree was King George V.
In 1938 a Hollywood film titled Sergeant Murphy was loosely based on the winner. Ronald Reagan was the owner of the horse in the film.
