Rakwool was an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who carried 73 kg (11 st 7 lbs) to win the Grand National Steeplechase at Flemington by 20 lengths in 1931. He cleared the fences beautifully that day, to the relief and surprise of his backers, because Rakwool was possibly the most erratic, reckless bone-jarring performer that Victorian racing has seen. His racing career was ended by injury at the age of six.
