Known for its challenging course, the Grand National is a test of endurance, skill, and agility, both for the horses and their jockeys. The race covers 4 miles and 514 yards (about 6.9 km), featuring 30 fences over two laps, with some of the most notorious obstacles in horse racing, such as Becher's Brook, The Chair, and the Canal Turn. Horses that run in the Grand National are among the best national hunt racers, typically aged between 7 and 11 years, with the experience and stamina to tackle the demanding course. To participate, they must meet specific criteria, including a rating issued by the British Horseracing Authority, to ensure that only top-quality horses compete, maintaining the event's high standards.
