The Grand National is the standout event in the racing calendar. Held at Aintree since 1839, it’s sure to attract over 10million viewers with £300million bet on the day in the UK alone.
Minella Times is bidding for back-to-back successes on Saturday, starting the race at 8/1 as joint favourite with Snow Leopardess and Delta Work. But it’s not always the short priced horses that do well. On five occasions a horse at odds of more than 100/1 has won this event, the most recent of which was in 2009 when Mon Mome strode to victory.
Prices are subject to frequent change due to betting trends but let’s take a look at how you can bet on the action and be a part of this iconic sporting event.
