The typical Grand National winner’s odds

Being a favourite in the Grand National betting odds has not exactly proved an advantage in the past. The only outright favourite to triumph this century was Hedgehunter in 2005.

It’s been eight years since the Grand National winner’s odds were shorter than 10/1, with five of the last seven winners being sent off at odds of 25/1 or larger.

In fact, the average odds of the last 10 winners is just over of 33/1, with 100/1 2009 victor Mon Mome included in this group.

What’s on at Aintree Racecourse?

The Grand National is unique because not only do the horses run over the marathon distance of over four miles, but they jump 30 fences in total. These fences are some of the biggest and hardest to jump of any racecourse, with The Chair, the biggest of them all at over 5ft.
