Aintree Racecourse

Highlight • Structure

Aintree Racecourse was opened in July 1829. It was located on land owned by the Earl of Sefton, who was encouraged in his promotion of racing by a Mr Lynn, proprietor of the Waterloo Hotel, Aintree. The two men were subsequently to encourage the growth of greyhound racing as well.

In February 1839, Lottery became the first winner of the Grand Liverpool Steeplechase, the race that would become known as the Grand National. Horses had to jump a stone wall, cross a stretch of ploughed land and finish over two hurdles.
