And it's Corbiere with a furlong to run in the National, being pressed by Greasepaint. Corbiere from Greasepaint, Greasepaint putting in a tremendous run for Ireland ridden by Mr Colin Magnier. It's Greasepaint on the nearside beginning to get up as they race towards the line. It's Corbiere from Greasepaint and Corbiere's won it!
BBC Commentator Peter O'Sullevan describes the climax of the 1983 National
The 1983 Grand National (officially known as the 1983 The Sun Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 137th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England, on 9 April 1983.
The race was won by Corbiere, the first Grand National winner to have been trained by a female trainer in Jenny Pitman. His jockey was Ben de Haan.[1]
The favourite of the 41-strong field was last year's winner Grittar, at odds of 7/1. Going over Valentine's, the 23rd fence, Corbiere held a four-length advantage over his nearest challenger, Greasepaint. At the finishing post, Corbiere pipped Greasepaint to victory by three-quarters-of-a-length. Yer Man was third.[1]
Corbiere went on to finish third in the next two Grand Nationals, he fell in his fourth consecutive National and finished 12th in his fifth and final entry in 1987.[1]
