The Grand National Steeplechase Association is currently planning to run the 118th rendition of its race meet on April 17, 2021, with or without spectators. The Race Committee expects that State of Maryland and Baltimore County regulations related to COVID-19 may change approaching the race date. The Grand National debuted as a tough and seriously fast machine in an era when American muscle appeared to be on the demise. While their turbocharged six-cylinders were a less than traditional approach to making power, these cars were true American muscle cars and they remain among the most collectible American cars from the 1980s. The prize fund for the Grand National is £1,000,000 which makes it the most valuable jump race in Europe. 600 million people will watch the race in over 140 countries with more than 70,000 in attendance at Aintree on the day. 40 horses and their jockeys will line-up in what is the ultimate test in British horse racing.
