In association with Betdaq: Step inside the FFP Time Machine as we go back to 1973 as Emmet Kennedy talks to legendary jockey and broadcaster Richard Pitman on the 50th anniversary of an extraordinary renewal of the worlds most famous horse race, the Grand National. Richard was onboard Crisp, a two mile Champion Chaser who had failed to stay 3m2f in the 1972 Gold Cup, but was now stepping up to the marathon distance of four miles plus in the National. So why did Richard ride him so boldly from the front, and what would he have done differently if he could go back in time? Join us for the sounds of 73, the music that defined that year and for an enthralling conversation as Richard eloquently describes what it was like to ride Crisp over those famous Aintree fences and how it felt when Red Rum got up on the line to win.
