Q: When is the Grand National?

The next Grand National will be on Saturday, April 4, 2020 . Make sure you circle the first Saturday in April on your calendar.

Q: How much money does the winner of the Grand National receive?

The winner receives approximately half of the £1 million purse (£561,300 in 2019), and that’s just the base winnings. This doesn’t include endorsements, advertisement deals, breeding rights to the horse, public appearances and all the other benefits that come with being a winner of the UK’s biggest horse race . Second place wins £200,000, and the value drops even further the lower you finish. This can be particularly painful if the difference between first and second place is just a nose. In 2012, for instance, the gap between Sunnyhillboy and Neptune Collonges was barely a fraction of a second. As a result, the second-place finish for Sunnyhillboy was much harder to swallow.

Q: When is post-time?

Post-time has changed many times throughout the years. Of late, however, the race has been held at later times to accommodate people’s work schedules better. The Grand National races have been held at 5:15 p.m. GMT over the last several years. They will likely continue to be for the foreseeable future.

Q: How many mares have won the Grand National?

A total of 13 mares have won the Grand Nationals since its inception. But, no horse has won since Nickel Coinback’s victory in 1951. Several mares have managed to finish in the top four since then. These include: Gentle Moya finishing second in 1956. Tiberetta in third in 1957 and second in 1958. Misshunter in third in 1970. Eyecatcher in third in 1976 and 1977 Auntie Dot in third in 1991. Ebony Jane finishing fourth in 1994. Dubacilla placed fourth in 1995. This doesn’t mean that a mare’s victory won’t happen again. Nevertheless, it’s probably a better bet to put your money on a stallion to win.

Q: How much are tickets to get into the race?

Tickets start from £45 for Grand National Thursday . Ladies Day will set you back £70 , and it’ll cost you £95 for Grand National Da y. Obviously, if you have more cash to splash, you can look to book terrace and roof access, and take in the day with a little more luxury and arguably better views of the action.
