The Punter's Tale
Ed Nicholson has been obsessed with horse racing, and more specifically, with Red Rum since his childhood (as evidenced by his fanzine 'Horsie Mails' pictured).
"Other kids had posters of their favourite pop stars on their bedroom walls - I had a jigsaw of Red Rum that I'd glued together"On the day of the pilgrimage Ed travelled to Aintree Race Course to see Red Rum's grave in person and visit the race course's museum.
Ed's Prologue describes the influence Red Rum had on Ed's formative years, whilst his Tale was delivered from the graveside and muses on Red Rum's continuing fame, liberally peppered with anecdotes from Ed's encyclopaedic racing knowledge.
