Crisp was a champion steeplechase horse. He was a bay Thoroughbred gelding that was foaled in 1963 in Australia. In his native country he won many important jumping races particularly two-milers including the Hiskens Steeplechase in 1969 and 1970. So well did he jump he was nicknamed The Black Kangaroo. However Crisp is probably best remembered for his epic contest with Red Rum in the 1973 Grand National in England.
