Half a billion people around the globe turn towards Liverpool on one Saturday each Spring, to watch one of the greatest spectacles in sport. Aintree is a magnet for the racing world: the Grand National is one of the most coveted prizes for owners, trainers and jockeys, and to be on the rails when 60,000 throats roar the name of their fancy is to be part of history, every year.
All the millions of once-a-year punters – who put their shirts (or at least £1 each way) on the prettiest colours, or the horse with the same name as their daughter's cat – are caught up in the magic along with the racing fraternity.
The Grand National is a dream factory, legends are created in the space of ten minutes and last many lifetimes.
