THE GRAND NATIONAL IS UNIQUE – THE RACE OF DREAMS AND CREATOR OF LEGENDS. THEREFORE, IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT THE GRAND NATIONAL RECEIVES MORE ATTENTION AROUND THE WORLD THAN ANY OTHER HORSE RACE.
Since the inaugural running at Aintree Racecourse in 1839, when Lottery had his name etched on the roll of honour, victory in the Grand National has been the pinnacle of ambition for owners, trainers and jockeys.
