The first official Grand National Race, was held way back in 1839, but the race was also run 3 years earlier in 1836. The story of the Grand National race goes back even further to the 1820’s, where entrepreneur William Lynn from Liverpool, sponsored a hare coursing event, which was called the Waterloo Cup, and after the great success of this, it gave him the idea of leasing a bit of land in Aintree and holding race meetings. coral.co.uk
