GROUND CHANGES ON THE GRAND NATIONAL COURSE

The going is now GOOD TO SOFT, GOOD IN PLACES on the Grand National course at Aintree following six millimetres of rain this morning. It was GOOD yesterday.

Clerk of the Course Andrew Tulloch commented: “The rain was just what we needed and there is a chance of showers tomorrow.”

The going on the Mildmay and Hurdle courses remains GOOD.

Tulloch added: “We will continue to monitor the situation as far as watering is concerned and look again tomorrow.”

FIRST-EVER A4 RACECARD

Aintree Racecourse breaks new ground by publishing the first-ever A4-format racecard in Britain on Martell Cognac Grand National Day, Saturday, April 5, 2003.

The special souvenir racecard has 64 pages and is great value at Ł3 - the same price as charged for last year’s Grand National day racecard.

As well as detailing all the runners and riders in the seven races, there will be articles and background information.

Dickon White, Aintree’s Marketing Manager, commented: “The world’s most famous horserace deserves a very special racecard and it will provide racegoers with a memento of their day at Aintree.”
