Where To Bet on Welsh Grand National 2020
The Welsh Grand National, which is sponsored by Coral, takes place on a 5,934 metre, left-handed turf track. The competition is open to horses 4 years and older. There are 22 fences that must be jumped over the course of the race. It is also important to note that this is a handicap race.
The Welsh Grand National was first run in 1895 and has moved venues multiple times over the years.
Weather can sometimes be a factor in this race, as numerous runnings of the Welsh Grand National have been cancelled in the past due to snow and frost.
Many bettors keep a close eye on this race, as numerous strong finishers in the Welsh Grand National have gone on to win the higher profile Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup races.
As mentioned, there is no upper limit on the age of horses in this event, which means that there can be multiple winners. The most recent two-time winner was Mountainous, who won the race both in 2013 and 2015.
The most recent winner of the Welsh Grand National was "Elegant Escape", who was ridden by Tom O'Brien and trained by Colin Tizzard.
