The 1841 Grand Liverpool Steeplechase was the third official annual running of a steeplechase, later to become known as the Grand National Steeplechase handicap horse race which took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool on 3 March 1841 and attracted a then smallest ever field of 11 runners. Although recorded by the press at the time as the sixth running of the Grand Liverpool, which was renamed the Grand National in 1847, the first three runnings were poorly organised affairs. The race was not run as a handicap chase and therefore all the runners were declared to carry 12 stone with the exception of the winner of the 1840 Cheltenham Steeplechase who had to carry 13 stone 4 lbs. ==Competitors & Betting== *5/2 Lottery, the 1839 winner who also bore the 13 stone, 4 lb penalty weight for having won the 1840 Cheltenham chase and was ridden, as in 1839, by Jem Mason *4/1 Cigar, an eleven-year-old providing Alan McDonough with a record fifth ride in the race (including pre 1839 non official Nationals) *6/1 Peter Simple, a seven-year-old grey entire ridden by T Walker *12/1 Legacy, the mount of William McDonough *14/1 Charity, an eleven-year-old mare who had failed to complete the course in 1839, a third ride for A Powell *14/1 Seventy Four, the eight-year-old runner up in 1839, ridden this year by Whitworth *100/6 The Hawk, provided a debut ride for W Saunders *25/1 Goblin, a ten-year-old ridden by last year's winning jockey Bartholomew Bretherton *25/1 Oliver Twist, a six-year-old ridden by 1839 runner up, Tom Olliver *25/1 Revealer, a seven-year-old ridden by P Barker *25/1 Selim, a seven-year-old who bore no relation to the 1814 sire of the same name, was the mount of Captain G B Price 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1841 Grand National」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
