The 2024 Grand National Live is coming up this Saturday and all eyes will be on Aintree for the iconic race.
It's the highlight of the racing calendar and one of the most famous sporting events in the world.
Millions of people will be tuning in to watch the 2024 Grand National on Saturday as the iconic steeplechase gets underway at Aintree. Tens of thousands of fans will descend on the racecourse for the main event of the three-day festival, with Corach Rambler looking to defend his title.
Last year's race attracted 7.5 million viewers in the UK, but the global audience is estimated to be around 500 million.
It is absolutely blowing a gale here at Aintree, playing havoc with many a fascinator. It is also having a significant influence over the racing. The wind is blowing straight down the finishing straight into the horses’ faces. Any jockey attempting to make an overtaking manoeuvre in the last furlong is being blown halfway back to Southport.
It means that every horse so far today who has been leading at the last has won their race. So don’t expect a last gasp change of lead in the big one. If your horse is not winning as the field negotiates the final fence, time to chuck away your betting slip.
