More About The Runners…

FINDING A WINNER

People will tell you that picking a Grand National winner is a lottery, they'll say that on the day any one of the 40 runners could win. In some respects that statement is true, the National remains one of the most open races in the world. In fact, the first ever winner (1839) was called ‘Lottery', appropriately enough.

But this belief isn’t borne out by the stats. In fact, by looking down the list of winners over the past 40 years – you can spot patterns that will help narrow the field of runners down to a shortlist of entrants who have the right stuff to triumph at Aintree.

Trends

Over the long history of the Grand National trends have emerged which give us clues about the type of horses which statistically have a better chance of winning the big one.

We've put together a list of the key traits which many Grand National winners display. Of course, every few years a horse will come along and rip up the form book.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

  • Age

    Age is one of the best indicators to a horse's chances of winning the Grand National. Looks for runners who are aged 8, 9, 10 or 11 as the majority of winners in the last ten years have fallen within this bracket. Three of the last six winners, meanwhile, have all been 11-year-olds – Neptune Collonges in 2012, Auroras Encore in 2013 and Pineau De Re in 2014. It's worth noting that 8-year-olds have won three out of the last four races.

  • Experience

    Due to the nature of the Aintree fences you'll be looking for a horse who is proficient over the jumps. Horses who struggle over the normal run of the mill fences will likely find Aintree too demanding. Look for a runner with at least 10 career chases under his belt and ideally they should have won at least one race with a prize fund worth over £17,000.

  • Stamina

    The Grand National is the longest race in the National Hunt calendar, unless a horse has previously had a run in the National it's unlikely that they have ever raced over this distance. In fact, few races come close to the four mile slog that Aintree serves up. Which is why I favour horses who have previously tackled the National course and finished, even if they didn't finish in the top half of the field.

  • Weight

    Until very recently you would be hard pushed to find a Grand National winner who carried a big weight to victory. Between 1990 and 2005 the only horse who returned victorious carrying more than 11 stone was Hedgehunter (2005, 11-01). However, the 2015 winner carried a whopping 11-09 and between 2009 and 2015 five winners have carried 11 stone or more.
