And it's Greasepaint on the far side, Hallo Dandy on the nearside, there's nothing between them as they come to the line. Hallo Dandy on the nearside is just gonna win it, Hallo Dandy has won it!
BBC Commentator Peter O'Sullevan describes the climax of the 1984 National
The 1984 Grand National (officially known as the Seagram Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 138th official renewal of the world-famous Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England, on 31 March 1984.
For the first time, the field was limited to a maximum of 40 runners. A sell-out crowd at Aintree[1] saw 23 contenders complete the course, breaking the record for most finishers and one which still stands today.[2]
Hallo Dandy won the race, ridden by Welsh jockey Neale Doughty. The pairing had finished fourth in the previous year's National. By the 26th fence Hallo Dandy and last year's runner-up Greasepaint were contesting the lead, which Hallo Dandy took at the second-last and held on to, securing victory by a distance of four lengths. The 1983 winner Corbiere finished third.[3]
There was one equine fatality in the race when Earthstopper collapsed and died after finishing in fifth place.[4]
