Grand National Betting RSS

The 2009 Grand National will be the 163rd running of this historic race, which only seems to get more popular every year. No clear favourite has emerged in the betting yet, but previous winners Silver Birch and Comply Or Die remain in the field while Paul Nicholls’ hunt for that elusive National winner is lead by My Will. Throughout the build-up to the Aintree meeting, Betting.Betfair will be the place to visit for updates, tips and previews, so be sure to keep visiting as you hunt for a National winner. The National is one of the two biggest betting markets in the UK. Grand National Betting is huge. Those who are interested in betting on the National might also want to make a Cheltenham Bet.
