Grand National is for sure England’s most prestigious horse race. This event is known as the greatest horse race in the world. Anyone who is willing to bet has its chance because nobody can predict which runner will win the race. With 40 runners at the start, and a 4 and a half mile course with more than 30 fences this is for sure an amazing spectacle for any horse race fan.

The Grand National have become like a tradition in England since the first race that took place in 1836. The race had been a success not only in the country but even outside its borders and quickly become the greatest horse race in the world.  The course was much difficult in the past but in time protection was added to the fences to protect the horses getting injured. When it comes to betting, Grand National is number one because of its slight chances of favorite’s horses to win the tournament. In the last century just eleven favorite horses had won the competition. So this make it a competition available for anyone who is ready to place a five pounds bet on a random horse and have the same chance to win as a betting expert.
