Description:
Horse racing can be more than just a sport on occasion, and this stems from the long-standing history of this iconic pastime. For example, the Melbourne cup in Australia is just about the biggest sporting occasion on their calendar – so much so, that it results in a bank holiday for most, which is why it is known as “the race that stops a nation.” However, it is the Grand National that stands at the top when drawing worldwide attention to the sport of horse racing.
