An account of the 1997 Grand National, which was delayed due to an IRA bomb scare. The authors reveal the behind-the-scenes efforts to evacuate a 60,000-strong crowd; ensure the safety of the politicians and royalty present; how Liverpool accommodated the thousands left stranded; and the drama of the following day and the eventual running of the race. The book also tells the story of the stable lads who refused to leave the course and the tears of the trainers forced to abandon their horses.
