It’s Grand National day as all eyes turn to Aintree for the world’s most famous jumps race. The iconic Grand National takes place at 5:15pm on Saturday with an audience of millions set to tune in on TV.
The live British television audience numbered 7.5 million in 2022, while over 150,000 racegoers attended Aintree during the three days of the Randox Grand National Festival.
40 horses are set to go to post with prize money of £1million on offer and a chance to become immortalised in British sporting history. Noble Yeats, last year’s winner, is bidding to become just the 10th horse in the history of the Grand National to win the race twice.
