Celebrate The Grand National experience with Raceclubs.com and you will experience the best virtual horse racing game ever!

The Grand National is famous for challenging the skill of both horse and rider. 

It began when an entrepreneurial innkeeper sponsored a hare coursing event that proved so successful he leased land in Aintree with the purpose of hosting regular race meetings. It was advertised for “gentlemen” riders, but horses from all backgrounds were eligible. The horse that placed second would receive its stake back while the winner would be sold. It was popular from the start. The Grand National has grown since its first race in 1839 to become the most celebrated and grueling steeplechase in the world. 

The race was subsequently renamed The Grand National, The Liverpool and The National Handicap Steeplechase. In 1847 it was finally titled The Grand National Handicap Steeplechase. 

To experience the rich history of the Grand National you should take advantage of all the tours available to visitors. If you take a tour of the Aintree weighing room you can even sit in Jennifer Harris’ weighing-in chair and sniff around her dressing room where she happily entertains fans and signs autographs. Geraldine Sullivan’s loves showing people the where she likes to experience the thrill of being in the same Winner's Enclosure. Its not often that she gets there to do it herself but she loves sharing it with people. Unfortunately Marguerite Roux’s nu comme un ver portraits were removed from the gallery due to complaints from the public but the Grand National has an exclusive art collection depicting its rich history.
