Grand National 2018

April 14, 2018 - De 171e editie van de Grand National, ’s werelds langste, moeilijkste en meest historische steeplechase,vindt plaats op de Aintree Racecourse, Liverpool, Engeland.

The first official Grand Liverpool Steeplechase, in 1839, was won by the aptly named favourite Lottery, while Captain Becher ensured his immortality when he parted company with his horse at the now world famous Becher’s Brook.

Aintree legend Red Rum is the most successful Grand National horse, coming home first three times, in 1973, 1974, and 1977. Red Rum was trained by another of horse racing’s great characters, Ginger McCain, who went on to claim another victory in the race with Amberleigh House in 2004.
