Welcome to the blog of the Worlds greatest steeplechase! It’s gonna be some ride…🏇🌎

“It’s unique and it has held its own as being the stiffest and best test for horse and rider. What I would like to keep about Aintree is the uniqueness of the race. It’s something different and in these days of standardisation I think it’s rather nice to be something different. All the jockeys who have been over Aintree are all very proud if they’ve even got round, never mind won the race, that’s something you can only hear the best talk about.” Mirabel Topham 1971.
