Grand National Race Results

Horse races are very popular throughout the world but one of the most popular is definitely the Grand National race. The Grand National race is definitely one of the most gambled on horse racing events of the year. This year will mark the 162nd running of the race which normally calls for a big crowd. This year the viewership is supposed to be at 65,000 viewers from all over the world. Online casinos everywhere took advantage of the popular race and took wagers on who would take home the first place prize. The first place winner was Mon Mome who was ridden by Liam Treadwell. They won despite the 100 to 1 odds that they were fighting against. No online casino or sports betting websites predicted that Mon Mome would take the first place prize, but he did. His win was a historical one making it the biggest priced winner since 1967 when Foinavon took the first place price after some tough odds.

The horse that came in first last year at the highly waged on race was Comply or Die came in second place this year to be shortly followed by My Will in third place. There were lots of broken hearts both at the online casino world and in the stadium when the favorite to win the race came in second place. The high stakes race is a grueling race for the horses to run. The field is surrounded by giant fences while the horses have to go around the track twice to complete the two and a quarter mile16 fence course. This is one of the toughest jump courses in the world. In fact it is so popular that it usually attracts just as many female punters as there are male. There will surely be some sort of discussion about this in the world of online casinos for weeks to come.

The communications manager of the Aintree track, Andy Clifton told Reuters News: "We are not immune to what is going on outside the gates of Aintree in terms of the economic hardship that people are facing but all the signs are that the people of the northwest are still having their big day out and will come in almost as big numbers as they did last year. They are big days out and they get national publicity and the bigger brands want to be associated with people having fun, having a good day out. We are pretty confident that we can buck the trend, slightly, particularly at the bigger meetings." Hopefully the online casino industry is able to keep up with all the buzz around this race.
