Scottish Grand National
Date: 16th – 17th April 2010
[tab:Overview]
The two day Coral Scottish Grand National Festival is Scotland’s richest jumps meeting and the home of the Scottish equivalent of the Grand National chase.
Held shortly after the Grand National, the 4m1f race often attracts many of the leading performers from Aintree, though only the great Red Rum has managed to win both races in the same year, back in 1974.
Crowds of more than 20,000 will descend on Ayr for one of the most exciting spectacles in racing with 28 of the country’s top long distance chasers battling it out over four miles and half a furlong of the famous Ayr track.
Some of the greatest names in horse racing – both human and equine – have won the race and people come from all over the UK and Ireland to attend the meeting where the atmosphere is electric.
