How to win the Grand National
The Grand National is the epitome of National Hunt racing, but winning the race requires skill, dedication and no small amount of luck.
Patrick Galbraith meets Marcus Armytage, Grand National-winning jockey and Scribehounder, at his home in Berkshire to find out what it takes to win the most famous horse race in the world. Patrick learns about Marcus’ route into racing and why he never made the step from amateur to professional, despite still holding the record for the National.
Next Patrick visits legendary National Hunt trainer Oliver Sherwood, who trained two Hennessy Gold Cup winning horses, Arctic Call and Many Clouds. Oliver explains what it takes to become a successful National Hunt trainer and why dealing with owners is such a challenge.
