The 2010 John Smith’s Grand National — Beginning on Thursday 8th April
It’s that time of year again. The 2010 John Smith’s Grand National is gearing up to give eager punters access to perhaps the most exciting racing event of the entire year. Returning to its historic home in Aintree, England, the prestigious events are set to begin on Thursday 8th April and run until the Saturday 10th April 2010 conclusion.
True to its traditional form, the 2010 John Smith’s Grand National will take place at the National Course and feature three days of racing, hosted at the world-famous Aintree track. With estimates placing the viewing audience at approximately 600 million and live attendees flocking to the events from across Great Britain and around the world, all eyes will be on the horses and jockeys set to participate.
Riders and horses alike must contend with fierce competition that forces athletes to perform at their very best across four miles and 856 yards (roughly 7 ¼ kilometers) of track. The two circuits host a total of thirty hurdles (with numerous drop fences) and require competitors to contend with a mid-course jump that is immediately followed by a 90-degree turn. The exacting demands of Aintree make the John Smith’s Grand National one of the most exciting racing events in the world and a true test of a jockey’s skill and a horse’s athleticism.
Whether punter and viewers choose to attend the first day (Liverpool Day), second day (the famous Ladies Day) or the thrilling conclusion (John Smith’s Grand National Day), the 2010 events are guaranteed to provide plenty of memorable moments for everyone involved.
