Scottish Grand National – All you need to know
Here are some key facts and figures to help you get up to speed when it comes to the Irish Grand National.
How long is the Irish Grand National, when’s it held and where’s it run?
The Irish Grand National is a jumps race, run on the final day of the Fairyhouse Easter Festival each year. The race is one of the longer races on the calendar, run over 3 miles and 5 furlongs, making it slightly longer than the Gold Cup, and around 5 furlongs shorter than the English Grand National. There are a total of 24 fences to be jumped, and the actual date of the race varies from year-to-year in line with the Easter holidays, so the 2023 Irish Grand National will be run on Monday 10th April 2023.
The Irish Grand National was first run in 1870, with the first horse to win the Irish Grand National being Sir Robert Peel.
The Irish Grand National can also be a guide to the Aintree Grand National. In 2005, a horse called Numbersixvalverde won the Irish Grand National and followed-up by winning the Aintree Grand National in 2006. Bobby Jo is another example of this, winning the Irish Grand National in 1998 and the Aintree Grand National in 1999.
Another famous Irish Grand National winner the race was Desert Orchid (1990), while the last horse to win back-to-back Irish Grand Nationals was Brown Lad in 1975 and 1976.
