2024 Irish Grand National Trends
Staged at Fairyhouse racecourse the 2024 Irish Grand National is run over a trip of 3m5f with 24 fences to be jumped.
The gruelling contest is always staged on Easter Monday, which this year falls early on 1st April 2024). While several Irish Grand National winners have also won the Aintree Grand National, but none in the same season – Bobbyjo and Numbersixvalverde are recent examples of this.
For example, did you know? The 18 of the last 20 winners carried 10-13 or less in weight, while 16 of the last 20 successful horses were Irish-bred. We’ve also seen just three winning favourites in the last 20 renewals, while in 2021 we saw a 150/1 winner of the race - FREEWHEELIN DYLAN - and 11 of the last 20 returned 20/1+. To prove any horse really can win this National.
While last year (2023) I Am Maximus gave Willie Mullins just his second win in the race but also provided Paul Townend with his first.
