Introducing The Story Behind the Sculpture:
The life-size bronze red rum horse statue was created by Red Rum’s jockey, Philip Blacker, and is currently housed at Aintree Racecourse overlooking the paddocks here. He is the only horse to have won the Grand National three times and was BBC Sports Personality of the Year. His historic victories cemented Red Rum’s legendary status in the Grand National, he even turned on the Blackpool lights in 1977! This sculpture vividly recreates the legendary racehorse, leaving a legacy for generations to come!
Let’s Take a Closer Look at the Red Rum Sculpture:
The bronze sculpture of this Red Rum has an overall somewhat plump and heavy feel to it, perfectly recreating the stubby state of the real Red Rum. As we could see from the image, the Red Rum is running with one front hoof and one back hoof bent and hanging, its eyes looking straight ahead and tail thrown back. The sculpture captures Red Rum’s morning walk on Southport Beach, and the horse’s musculature and body curves are so lifelike that it is loved by thousands of horse fans and racing enthusiasts.
