The 2008 Grand National weekend will be held on the 3th, 4th and 5th April at Aintree on Merseyside. 3th is Opening Day, 4th is Ladies Day and 5th is the main event - the Grand National Steeple Chase itself. There are a few records for 2008, £800,000 prize money! and a record 150 entrants (of which 40 will be chosen for the race itself). |
Since the first Grand National was held in 1829 at Aintree there have been many well-known owners to win the famous steeplechase including members of the Royal family, TV stars and tycoons. A full upgrading of the stands and enclosures was completed in 2007 at a cost of £30 million including the Queen Mother and Tattersall stands. |
The most famous race in the world was won last year by Silver Birch . Previous winners include: NUMBERSIXVALVERDE in 2006, Hedgehunter in 2005, Amberleigh House in 2004, Monty's Pass in 2003 and Bindaree in 2002. |
