Red Marauder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Red Marauder is a Thoroughbred race horse that won the 2001 Grand National. 2001 was the year only four horses finished, due to the rainy conditions at Aintree. Red Marauder saw off a late challenge from Smarty to claim the winning ribbons.

The Grand National win was a first for Sunderland based horse owner Norman Mason who had entered Red Marauder several times before in previous years of the famous race.

Trainer Richard Guest was also the jockey that day and the horse is now retired at a large horse training facility in New Brancepeth, Co. Durham, which is owned by Norman Mason.
