FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
The 2-day Coral Grand National Festival sees the cream of jumps racing talent – horses, trainers and jockeys – heading to Ayr Racecourse for the best day of the year for jumps racing in Scotland. There’s always something for all aficionados of the National Hunt scene including Scotland’s richest race, one of the country’s leading handicap hurdles, an increasingly popular mares’ hurdle, various top handicaps and a couple of mouth-watering novice chases which combine to make Ayr’s Coral Scottish Grand National Festival so special.
With a staggering half a million in prize money on offer on Saturday alone, the largest amount ever recorded during the festival, the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival promises high stakes and fierce competition. As the richest raceday in Scotland, this significant prize fund adds an extra layer of excitement and intensity to an already thrilling event.
