Aintree Races
The Aintree racecourse first opened its doors on 7th July 1829 and hosts the prestigious annual Grand National horse race, one of the UKs biggest and most popular horse racing events. Aintree was originally used as a flat racing course, before the steeplechase was introduced in 1836. It is now considered to be one of the most difficult courses to complete successfully, it is home to some of the most lethal fences anywhere on the horse racing circuit. The Grand National attracts bets, from eager punters, that usually exceed the £100 million mark. In 2013, betting on the race topped £150 million for the first in its history. Racing at Aintree runs from late October and continues into mid-June. There are hospitality suites, an equestrian centre and even a golf centre.

The Aintree Racecourse
Best Course Winner
The most successful horse to run the Aintree racecourse is Red Rum, winning the Grand National on this circuit in 1973, 1974 and 1977. He also managed second place in the race in 1975 and 1976.
It was Donal McCain who trained Red Rum, running him along the beach at Southport, building up his stamina and getting him into the shape that made him a great victor.
