The Grand National is the biggest horse race of the sporting calendar and is watched by over 250 million people worldwide. To the betting industry this one race is worth over GBP100 million last year with millions of betters from across the world.

Grand National Statistics

First run in 1839 the race is run over a marathon trip of 4miles 4 furlongs (4 1/2 miles) over two circuits, jumping 30 of the most tricky and testing fences in jump racing. The Chair is the tallest and broadest of all the fences at 5 feet 2 inches (1.57metres) high.

The race is also unique in that it allows both amateurs and professionals (as trainers and jockey's) to compete against one another for the prize, and although they normally send over a fair amount of horses past results have seen the Irish only winning the race 21 times in its history, most recently with Hedgehunter in 2005.

When selecting a horse to win the race over the years there are various trends and past results that will help when picking horses that will run well. Firstly the age of the horse can prove to be useful with 9 year-olds have the best record in the race, this could be down to the gruelling trip as many would say that at nine staying chasers should be at or near their peak.

Due to the competitive nature of the race horses with big odds have a good record with only 5 horses since 1978 winning at odds of less than 10/1, meaning that whoever you back you are in with a good chance.
