2020 Grand National Cancelled

Post by Carole Hanson »

From the Racing Post:
The Randox Health Grand National, the world's most famous race, has been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak as it emerged on Monday night that the whole three-day Aintree meeting will not take place next month.

Jockey Club Racecourses, which owns Aintree, was working on plans to stage the race behind closed doors, but new government measures announced on Monday evening, whereby those in the UK were told to 'avoid non-essential contact and unnecessary travel', has brought about the decision to cancel the three-day meeting.

Gutted that Tiger Roll won't get his chance at a 3rd National but this is the right decision. FYI, Keeneland has cancelled their spring meet in light of the virus.
