解析
本题考查学生对文章细节的理解能力，需要结合选项与原文对应信息进行匹配。解题核心在于准确识别Red Rum的关键成就，尤其关注时间点和成就的具体描述。破题关键是区分选项中时间与成就的对应关系，例如选项D中的“three Grand National wins”和“1970s”是文章明确强调的重点。
选项分析
选项A
“won his first Grand National title at 12”
- 原文中Red Rum首次夺冠年龄为10岁，而非12岁，因此此选项错误。
选项B
“took two firsts successively in 1935-1936”
- 文章未提及1935-1936年间的成绩，且Red Rum的活跃时期为1970年代，时间线不符，排除。
选项C
“surprised sporting fans worldwide in 1973”
- 虽然1973年是Red Rum首次夺冠的重要年份，但“surprise”一词描述不准确，且文章强调的是多次夺冠的成就，非单一事件。
选项D
“took three Grand National wins in the 1970s”
- 原文明确指出Red Rum在1970年代三次赢得Grand National冠军（1973、1974、1977年），与时间、成就完全匹配，为正确答案。
