What Times The Grand National At

  1. The National is the highlight of Aintree's Grand National meeting which this year runs from Thursday April 8 to Saturday April 10. The main event will be on Saturday as things stand.
  2. RTJ GOLF TRAIL AT GRAND NATIONAL. Grand National, by all reports, was the single greatest site for a golf complex Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Had ever seen.Built on 600-acre Lake Saugahatchee, 32 of the 54 holes drape along its filigreed shores.

Excitement is starting to build ahead of the 2020 edition of the Grand National. The iconic race sees 40 runners compete over 30 jumps around Aintree’s four-mile-two-furlong course.

The Grand National Package cost $1,282. That increased the cost of the Basic Regal by about ten percent. This was very reasonable considering all the performance upgrades included. An estimated 425 of the 1984 Grand Nationals were produced with the T-Top option which makes these one of the rarest of the Grand Nationals.

Last year’s race saw Tiger Roll become the first back-to-back winner of the Grand National since Red Rum in the 1970s.

The horse’s owner Michael O’Leary said afterwards: “It’s unbelievable.

“It’s a phenomenal training performance by Gordon [Elliot]. It’s brilliant that he keeps bringing this horse back at Cheltenham better than ever and Aintree better than ever.

“And what a ride by Davy [Russell] – fantastic. It’s unbelievable, to win two Grand Nationals is just incredible.”

Tiger Roll will now carry top weight at the 2020 Grand National.

British Horseracing Authority chase handicapper Martin Greenwood, who framed the weights for the second time this year and has total discretion for the Grand National, said: “I have made Tiger Roll and Delta Work joint top-weights for the Randox Health Grand National.

“This decision was made essentially on two factors – historical compression which was brought in by Phil Smith and has been used for the last 10 years or so. On the other hand, I have to give Tiger Roll this mark based on his efforts over the national fences at Aintree where he is of course unbeaten.

“Tiger Roll was rated 172 at the end of last year and obviously there is no recent evidence to go on because of his fitness issues, so his handicap mark has been unquantifiable since. He is therefore coming down 2lb and carries the same weight as Suny Bay did when he was second in the 1998 Grand National. No other horse has carried that rating since. Many Clouds won off 11st 9lb, but he did not have as high a rating.

“It must be remembered that Tiger Roll ran in the race off a rating of 159 but was actually rated 167 at the time due to his win in the Cross Country at Cheltenham.

“Tiger Roll has also not yet qualified for this year’s Grand National. Whilst he may run in the Boyne Hurdle at Navan (Sunday, 14 February), he still has to run in a chase to qualify. There are about 15 horses overall who currently do not qualify because they have either not run over fences this season or not yet finished in the first four in a race over 23 and a half furlongs in their career. A high-profile example would be Cadmium, a Topham Chase winner.

“Delta Work is a potential Cheltenham Gold Cup contender and, in order to keep as many of the horses in the handicap, he is also off 170. Other horses towards the top include Bristol de Mai and Native River. Bristol de Mai was rated 173 when entered last year and that figure has been downgraded since to 168. I have dropped Native River 2lb to 166 as Bristol De Mai has finished in front of him the last couple of times they have met, and I thought he was workmanlike when winning at Newbury on Saturday.

“This year, 73% of the horses entered are in the handicap. Similarly, from a starting rating of 140, there are more horses than ever in the modern era entered for the race – 92 in total.

“The race is full of top-class individuals and boasts the winners of races such as the Grand National, Irish National, Welsh National, Rowland Meyrick Chase, Cheltenham Gold Cup and much more. It is as good a staying handicap as would be run anywhere.

“You could argue that it is the highest quality Grand National in modern history.”
