By far the most famous horse race in the world, excitement is building ahead of the 2019 Grand National meeting at Aintree.
The iconic Merseyside racecourse is set to host a crowd of around 150,000 during the three-day event, which features 21 races and of course, the main event itself on Saturday 6th April.
The Grand National is famously difficult to predict, and one that isn’t always a kind race for the favourites. Indeed, we have seen many big-priced winners in recent years, including the 66/1 shot Aurora’s Encore, trained by Yorkshire-based Sue Smith.
However, this year there is such momentum behind last year’s winner, Tiger Roll, that it would be considered something of a shock if the Gordon Elliott trained horse does not pass the finish line first on Saturday evening.
The team at award-winning Beverley Racecourse believe the best is yet to come as they look forward to another action-packed season.
A memorable 2018 saw the racecourse celebrate an increase in attendances, win a prestigious racing industry award and be named as one of the top courses in the country for raceday experience.
Auroras Encore, representing trainer Sue Smith, defied the odds to land the 2013 Aintree Grand National and was the last winner of the race to represent Yorkshire.
The county has seen a number of participants fall short in the intervening period, with none of them managing to follow in the footsteps of the Irish-bred bay gelding.

The 4m2f contest at Aintree racecourse is arguably the most unique contest on the racing calendar, given the size of the obstacles the horses have to jump. A sell-out crowd is expected once again in April with thousands set to travel from Yorkshire for the meeting.
Anyone that has visited Beverley races will know there are few things as exciting as cheering a winner home down the final straight.
While the Flat racing season at Beverley doesn’t kick off until Easter, the Cheltenham Festival is upon us in just a matter of weeks.
