Aintree
The Grand National is run over four and a half miles, often on soft ground, which makes the race all the more demanding on stamina and jumping. There are usually 40 horses taking part in the race but fewer than 10 may in fact complete the course.
The record for the most victories in the Grand National is held by Red Rum, who won three times in the 1970s. Aintree Racecourse is a British horse racing venue in Aintree, near Liverpool, on Merseyside. The course is home to the world-renowned Grand National steeplechase. It is regarded as one of the most difficult of all courses to successfully complete, with 30 steeplechase fences including The Chair, Canal Turn and Becher's Brook; these being so infamous that even the names of these fences strike fear into even the most professional of jockeys.
