GRAND NATIONAL WINNERS

The Aintree Grand National
First raced in 1839 The Grand National Steeplechase was a course across four
miles of plough land, two hurdles and a stone wall. Today's Grand National
course (built 1953) is a double circuit raced over four and a half miles with 30
jumps and is usually completed within ten minutes. The race is held in early
April and is televised all over the world and is the best known National Hunt
Horse race in the world. The Grand National race meeting, held every April,
attracts over 100,000 racegoers from all over the world and is watched by
millions on television. A £6 million Grandstand, opened by HRH The Princess
Royal (1998), provides racegoers with a superb view of this famous old race. The
horse most associated with this race is the record making 'Red Rum' who as a 12
year old in 1977, won the race for the third time. A fine bronze statue of this
horse, located opposite the winners enclosure is a final tribute to this
wonderful horse at Aintree.

The Chairman of Aintree racecourse is Lord Daresbury.
