AINTREE
There are usually 40 horses taking part in the race but fewer than 10 may in fact complete the course. Way back in 1928 42 horses started, and only two finished!
It is regarded by most jockeys as one of the most difficult courses to successfully complete, as there is 16 steeplechase fences, which include The Chair, Canal Turn and the dreaded Becher's Brook. They are so infamous that even their names strike fear into the most professional of jockeys! All of the fences - bar the water jump - are covered with spruce and greenery which makes it stand out more than any other course in British national hunt racing.
