Grand National 2023 – to be eligible for the Grand National, a horse must be seven years of age or older, finish first, second, third, or fourth in a chase lasting at least three miles, and have a BHA Handicapper rating of at least 125.
The Handicapper assigns a weight to each runner based on their OR (official rating), with the highest-weighted horse being placed first. The final stage of declarations, which takes place on the Thursday before the event, determines the final 40 runners.
Conflated and Hewick withdrew at the second scratching stage of the Grand National 2023, leaving only Any Second Now as the last top-weight runner. Any Second Now is a serious contender, although Red Rum, who triumphed in 1974, was the last horse to do so while racing at top weight. Corach Rambler and Noble Yeats are the two horses with the lowest odds to win the Grand National in 2023.
The jockeys competing in the race must fulfil several requirements, including having ridden at least ten winners in chases and at least 15 winners in hurdle races under the Rules of Racing and/or the Rules of the Irish National Hunt Committee. In the race’s early years, amateur jockeys were common, but almost all jockeys are full professionals now.
Bookmakers establish each horse’s odds, which might change depending on how much money is bet on each runner. With an each-way wager, a horse can place first, second, third, or fourth, with the bookies paying the fifth and sixth positions. However, bookies lower the published odds for the place portion of the wager, so if the horse only finishes in the top three, only around 25% of the original odds may be paid out.
