The Aintree Grand National And Its History

The Grand National is the most valuable NH handicap horse race in the UK. The 1st Grand National at Aintree was in 1839 and was won by the fittingly named horse, Lottery. No horse has run in the Grand National more times than Manifesto, who competed in eight renewals of the event between 1895 and 1904. The Grand National is one of the exceptional main sporting events in which amateurs can and do take on professional jockeys. Since “Lottery” won the very first race at Aintree way back in 1839, the Grand National has been throwing up fascinating stories of achievement and bravery. The Grand National has become part of the social structure of this country.
