"Situated just off Liverpool on the A59, Aintree Racecourse is the world's famous and very prominent venue because it holds the Grand National, the most important premier event in the racing yearly agenda. Opened in 1829 by the William Lynn, the owner of Liverpool's Waterloo Hotel, it was soon sold to the Topham family and has changed owners on a regular basis ever since.
Aintree Racecourse has made history for its dramatic events, successes and failures. It hosts more than 100,000 spectators in its huge arena, and is yearly being visited by 600,000,000 television viewers.
The Grand National covers a distance of 4.5 miles with 16 jumps, which are repeated. The Chair and Becher's Brook are the most notoriously difficult, and further the course's reputation as one of the most testing races in the world.
The Grand National is a wonderful part of British popular culture as it has brought a piece of Liverpool to many homes and has earned England a top seat in sports history. Visiting the event is a must not just for sports and betting fanatics. Visitors also enjoy watching the most famous horses take their rounds while warming up for the great events. During these events, the entire town transforms into a busy socializing place that bursts with laughter and having a good time. It's a very different experience from the usual sports events that are mostly aimed at male visitors. Aintree Racecourses have an excellent reputation for providing quality time for the entire family with special events and many famous guest stars in the evenings, and children will love the opportunity to touch these world's most spectacular horses. For the ladies, there are yearly Lady Days with many competitions and great beauty products to win."
