Grand National 2025 Offers £1 Million Prize

The Grand National 2025 at Aintree features 34 runners, including last year's champion, I Am Maximus, trained by Willie Mullins, who is also fielding five other horses. This year's race sees a record number of seven grey horses, including the well-regarded Intense Raffles, competing for a £1 million prize pot. The festival is expected to draw over 150,000 attendees and a global TV audience of 600 million, significantly boosting the local economy. The event also marks a strategic shake-up following the withdrawal of Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin, leaving the competition open for other favorites like Stumptown and Vanillier. Various trainers, including Gordon Elliott with five entries, are vying for victory, with JP McManus hoping to secure his fourth win as an owner. The race, held since 1839, continues to captivate as one of horse racing's most prestigious and challenging events.
