The John Smith's Grand National

It's a British sporting institution, running since 1839, when a horse called Lottery won the big race, and a man called Captain Becher parted company with his horse at a now famous brook...

It’s a race synonymous with a horse called Red Rum, the horse who captured the nation’s hearts, a horse who was trained on the beaches of Southport and went on to notch up three Grand National victories.

It’s three days full of stories and wonder and the most ethereal horses in the world.

It’s nothing but excitement and drama; and it’s the grandest day to share with others.

It’s time to plan for the biggest social event in the calendar, the 2011 John Smith’s Grand National. The 2011 John Smith's Grand National will return to Aintree on Thursday 7^th April to Saturday 9^th April 2011. Click here to see what tickets and grandstand badges are available to buy online.
