The Grand National Festival has 21 races, with up to 150,000 spectators descending upon Merseyside for the three-day event which reaches its climax with the Grand National itself on Saturday.
However, there is still lots of action to be enjoyed before then as plenty of grade one action takes place as part of an exciting schedule. The Aintree Festival is one of the highlights of the season, coming a month after the famous Cheltenham Festival and is regarded as being one of the two biggest events of the National Hunt calendar.
Millions of pounds will be staked on the event, with the Grand National being the one race which draws in people for a bet who would not normally do so. However, there is plenty of action to be enjoyed in the meantime, with Ladies Day having some top class action to be enjoyed and lots to be won and lost on the track and among punters.
