Grand National facts & figures
August 31st, 2008 by admin
The fastest time of all Grand National runners was 8m47.8s by Mr Frisk in 1990. The Aintree Grand National is such a spectacle people travel to Liverpool from all over the World to see it for their own eyes. Over 3,000 caterers make sure there is enough food to go around. Over 75 ground staff spend a month preparing the fences before the Aintree Festival starts. The spruce which tops the fences is transported from the Lake District. Today the number of grand national runners is restricted to 40 for safety reasons but the biggest field occurred in 1929 when 66 runners took place, a record for any horse race ever. The smallest field was in 1883 with only ten Grand National runners
