    We are from Australia. One Wish ... The Grand National - What a Race. What memories! Triumphs and Desperate Tragedies. We must be there, some time soon: Foinavon; Devon loch; Red Rum; Sir Peter, the best Race Caller ever - and that most marvellous Australian horse, CRISP (what a horse, indeed - and what an absolute Champion!) Saw him win in Melbourne. But never in Liverpool. We must be there, most certainly ... some time (real SOON).
