CHOOSING A WINNER IN THE GRAND NATIONAL
- loads of Runners: With about 40 horses in the race you can surely expect a spectacle. That’s a lot of legs! It’s quite common to see riders falling and horses running without jockeys, and bookmakers like William Hill often take bets on how many riders will fall!
- Long Track: 4.5 miles
- Jumps & Balance: Runners with history of falling are not likely to possess confidence and to maintain their balance to realistically have a chance of winning at Ascot.
- Stamina: This is a long race – therefore horses with no track record of victories on tracks over 3 miles in distance are more unlikely to win on a 4.5 mile track.
- The race is synonymous with the racehorse “Red Rum”which was trained on the beaches of Southport and went on to win 3 Grand Nationals, capturing the nation’s hearts.
- Each way betting – placing an each way bet on the grand national is an easy way to make profit, as bookmakers pay four places on each way bets as standard
- It is rare to find a contender in the event with such short odds that you won’t make a profit with an each way bet, should the horse place 1st-4th.
