Grand National 2015 at Aintree: Shutthefrontdoor Favourite!

The Grand National is the legendary Aintree Racecourse which takes place on a distance of 4.5 miles or approximately 7200 meters. Bringing together more than 40 participants, the bumpy test consists of 30 hurdles with an allocation of about £560,000 awarded to the winner. This is why it stands out as the biggest betting event in horseracing every year.

This competition is followed by over 10 million people on average on television, and 70,000 spectators are expected on D-Day at the Aintree Racecourse! The 2015 edition will take place Saturday 11th of April at 4.15pm.

To date, the favorite of the 2015 edition of the Grand National at Aintree is Shutthefrontdoor. having also collected a trophy in April 2014 at the Irish Grand National, it is very unlikely that his skill should be questioned on this type of course. With speculation mounting that Champion Jockey AP McCoy is ready for his final race will likely be partnered with Shutthefrontdoor. Odds at at Bet365.

The Other Runners:
