1870 Grand National
The 1870 Grand National was the 32nd renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England, on 9 March 1870. This was the fifth and final time George Stevens rode the winner in the Grand National.
After crowd encroachment the previous year, the course was widened with rails added to the approach of fences one, two and three, although the fences themselves were unaltered.
First circuit: From the start, the runners had a long run away from the racecourse, across the lane towards Fence 1 {15} Ditch and Rails Fence 2 {16} Ditch and Bank, Fence 3 {17} Double Rails, Fence 4 {18} Rails and Ditch, Fence 5 {19} Becher's Brook Fence 6 {20} Post and Rails, Fence 7 {21} Post and Rails, Fence 8 {22} Post and Rails {Canal Turn}, Fence 9 {23} Valentine's Brook, Fence 10 {24} Drop, Fence 11 {25} Post and Rails, Fence 12 {26} Table.
The runners then crossed the lane at the canal bridge to re-enter the racecourse proper, turning at the first opportunity towards the fences in front of the stands. Fence 13 Made Fence, Fence 14 Stand Water.
Second circuit: The runners then turned away from the Grandstands again and crossed the lane again, following the first circuit until reaching the racecourse again. This time the runners continued to the wider extreme of the course after crossing the lane at canal bridge before turning to run up the straight in front of the stands where two hurdles, Fence 27 and Fence 28 had to be jumped
The runners then bypassed the Made Fence and Stand Water inside before reaching the winning post in front of the Main Stand.
The Colonel was made 4/1 favourite on the day to repeat his victory of the previous year. George Stevens was again in the saddle, now being the only rider ever to have won the race four times.
The Doctor had been a long time ante post favourite until the day of the race, being sent off at 5/1, having finished sixth in his previous appearance in the race four years earlier. This was George Holman's eighth ride in the race, having twice finished fourth previously.
