Riding a Grand National horse to victory is undoubtedly a difficult and nervy experience and while the jockey’s role is merely to steer the horse around the course, that is easier said than done. Before placing your bet, remember that jockey experience is more than just a bonus with this race. It is also important to keep in mind the nature of the race and that some of the best jockeys in history have never won the Aintree Grand National.
As you ponder your choices on which Grand National runner to bet on, consider this fact: Last year only 12 horses completed the race, with the winner being three-quarters of a length clear when crossing the line. This highlights the open nature of the race, with the prospect of any of the horses simply having bad luck on the day. Conversely, any horse can win it if they have the rub of the green and so this race regularly attracts bets on huge outsiders, as their chance is increased compared to the average race.
The winner of the Aintree Grand National requires, agility, power, experience, precision and staying power, however the ground conditions or 'the going' on the day will most definitely have a great impact on the race outcome. Check out the form guide to see how the going is in the run up to the big race and place your bet accordingly.
One final tip to help you place a winning bet on the 2008 Grand National is that this race requires specific training and so it is worth examining which of the runners, riders and trainers have previously been victorious or come close to an Aintree Grand National victory. The form guide can be found on the horses home page and is well worth a look before you place your bet.
