Gray Shatters Hoodoo, Wins National Grand National Fans. Side view of stands. At Entree, another thrilling running of the grand national. Two Russian entries are in the field of 35 starters, but the star of the 4 1/2 mile steeplechase ordeal is Nicolas silver, the first gray to win the turf classic in 90 years. He takes the richest purse in grand national history ---- over $50,000! Rider less horse still running in race, but out of contention. Horse runs towards camera, off course. Two men in bowler hats look through binoculars. Rider thrown off horse. Spectators look through binoculars.
