The 2026 Randox Grand National Festival roared into life yesterday, marking the start of three days of world-class jumps racing. With "The Big One" looming on Saturday, the energy at the track is already electric.
As a proud Liverpool lad, this meeting always holds a special place in my heart—there’s truly nothing like the atmosphere in our city when the National rolls around.
