English steeplechase horse race
Horse race
The 1919 Grand National was the 78th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool , England, on 28 March 1919.[ 1]
It was the first true Aintree Grand National since 1915, with the intermittent races being cancelled due to World War I and substituted by a "Racecourse Association Steeplechase" and later a "War National Steeplechase" at Gatwick Racecourse .
The 1919 National was won by the Poethlyn, ridden by Ernest Piggott . The pair had won an unofficial National at Gatwick in 1918 and on the back of this started 11/4 favourites, the shortest starting odds of any Grand National winner to date.[ 2]
