Today is the running of the Grand National Race at Aintree, England. The spectacle will be viewed by 600 million people round the world. The race was introduced to a North American audience by the film National Velvet, starring Mickey Rooney and a young Liz Taylor. One of the biggest betting days in the UK as nearly everyone takes a “flutter” on the outcome. Good luck to all! Especially the “runners and riders”.
