1882 Grand National
The 1882 Grand National was the 44th renewal of the world-famous Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 24 March 1882.〔http://www.sportsbookguardian.com/horse-racing/grand-national/winners
〕
The race was held on 24 March in some of the worst conditions ever seen in the race's history. The heavy snow and freezing conditions had put many off and there were only twelve starters including: Cyrus, The Scot, Eau de Vie, Zoedone, Fay and Seaman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Sickly Seaman Carries the Day )〕 Seaman was not a fit horse and he and his owner, Lord Manners, had only come to be in the race as the result of an extraordinary wager.〔
==An extraordinary wager==
In late 1881, the 3rd Baron Manners bet a large sum of money that he could buy, train and ride the winner of the 1882 Grand National. With just four months in which to prepare, he managed to procure Seaman, a six-year-old gelding, for £1,900. The vendor, an Irishman called Henry Linde, expressed his concerns over the sickly Seaman and didn't believe the horse was capable of such a feat, even if there had been sufficient time in which to train him.〔 It was widely held that Manners lacked the riding ability and experience necessary to win such a tough race.〔 Lord Manners, recognising his own short comings, set about entering as many amateur races as he could in order to gain some experience. He had limited success until three weeks before the National, when he won the Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown, riding a horse called Chancellor.〔
