The story
What makes this year’s race
The Grand National at Aintree is the most famous horse race on earth. Four and a quarter miles, thirty fences, forty runners, one Saturday afternoon in April that stops the country. Follow the build here — from the first entries in November, through the weights ceremony in February, the trial races over the winter, and the final declarations five days out.
We track every entry as the market moves. Mr Fox flags the shortlist. LLaMa breaks down the trials. The story lives here right up to the tape.
