Grand National Race Guide Info Graphic

Are you a Grand National fact geek? Can you name all the 100/1 winners or how much is bet on the race each year? Do you know why the fences are named or how many cups of tea are consumed at the event? Well, whether you consider yourself a Grand National statistical god or just an interested fan then take a look at the ‘Grand National Race Guide’ info graphic from www.grand-national.me.uk and put your knowledge to the test.

Once you have absorbed the facts on the “greatest steeple chase in the world” maybe you can have a go at picking this years winner. There are some great horses going through to the final cut that look like strong contenders for this years trophy, such as Chicago Grey, trained by Gordon Elliot or maybe this is the year for Junior who just missed out on a place in 2011.

Which ever horse you go for, this year’s Grand National is promising to be yet another spectacular race and if you can’t make it to Aintree then you can watch the great event live on the BBC with coverage starting at noon with the big race starting at 4.15pm.
