The Grand National

Episode 1: The Grand National – The Greatest Steeplechase in the World

In our debut episode, we saddle up for the 177th running of the world’s most famous steeplechase – the Grand National. We take a gallop around Aintree’s legendary jumps, relive the underdog triumphs of Bob Everett and Gregalach, the heartwarming tale of Bob Champion and Aldaniti, and, of course, pay tribute to the GOAT – Red Rum.

But it’s not all fairy-tale endings. The National is a race full of controversy and chaos. We dive into the dangers, debates, and drama that have shaped its legacy.

Join Jack and Ben as they explore the stories behind the race that stops a nation.
