Since there was a fair bit of interest in the Cheltenham thread, some of you may know Aintree starts today for the lead up to the Grand National on Saturday! :rockon:
One of the most challenging steeplechases in the world where its luck to pick a winner!! (last years 100/1 shot "Mon Mome" proved it!)

So has anyone got any interesting views or picks for the few day festival?!

The Grand National is run over four and a half miles (7.24 km), sometimes on soft ground, which makes the race all the more demanding on stamina and jumping. The race is the most demanding steeplechase in the world. The lead has often changed hands during the 494-yard (452 m) run-in after the final fence. There are usually 40 horses taking part in the race but fewer than 10 may in fact complete the course. In 1928 42 horses started and only two finished the course.[2] The record for the most victories in the Grand National is held by Red Rum, who won three times in the 1970s.
