The Grand National is held at the Aintree racecourse in Liverpool and begun in 1839. The first winner was by a horse called Lottery Who (12 stone carried).
The grand national race is called the world's greatest steeplechase and is
one of the most widely recognised steeplechases in the world. It is an unique
test of horsemanship for the rider and also a test of a great significance for
a horse.
The aintree course is 2 a quarter miles in length and has 16 fences including
the famous Bechers Brook.
The fences typically pose a problem for the horses in that there is the famous drop fences which means that the landing side of the fence is lower than the take off side and that means the horse approaching the fence is unaware of this fact until in the air.
Inversely the Chair Fence, is the biggest fence on the course and the landing side is higher than the take off. In the Grand National the horses have to complete almost two circuits of the course and jump 30 fences and then a long 494 yard run in which has been the downfall of many in the past. On the course there are 2 fences that are jumped at once and this is on the first circuit, they are the Chair Fence and the water jump.
