Modest McCain hails 'legend' Red Rum

Ginger McCain, trainer of the legendary Grand National winner Red Rum, has died aged 80 after suffering from cancer.

McCain guided "Rummy" to three victories and two second places in a five-year period during the 1970s.

He was nicknamed 'Mister Aintree' for his record at the Merseyside track, and won a fourth National with Amberleigh House in 2004.

In 2006, McCain handed the reins to son Donald who won the Grand National with Ballabriggs this year.
