Red Rum's classic win in the 1977 Grand National is the stuff of
sporting legend. Red himself became a national treasure, and his
charismatic trainer - the redoubtable Ginger McCain - became a
sporting hero. While the public adored Ginger, there were those who
sniped that he was a one-horse trainer. All that changed 27 years
later when, in a thrilling race, Ginger won his fourth National
with Amberleigh House, equalling the record of Fred Rimmer. Once
again Ginger had taken the sporting world by storm. In the 70s, the
popularity of Red Rum and Ginger almost single-handedly saved the
great race when there were plans afoot to turn the track into a
housing estate. Ginger himself is a remarkable individual -
charming, forthright, not afraid to speak his mind and a hugely
entertaining raconteur. This is his story, at times funny, sad,
exciting and always captivating, told in his own inimitable style.
