The 1967 Grand National was the 121st renewal of the world-famous Grand National steeplechase that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England, on 8 April 1967. The race is best remembered for being won by outsider Foinavon at odds of 100/1, after being the only horse to avoid a mêlée at the 23rd fence and jump it at the first attempt. Commentator Michael O'Hehir describes the chaotic scene at the 23rd fence in 1967 Three jockeys had turned him down. They asked me and I mean I'd have ridden Dick's donkey to be in the Grand National.
