annual running of a steeplechase, later to become known as the Grand National Steeplechase handicap horse race which took place at <a href="/wiki/Aintree" title="Aintree">Aintree</a> <a href="/wiki/Racecourse" class="mw-redirect" title="Racecourse">Racecourse</a> near <a href="/wiki/Liverpool" title="Liverpool">Liverpool</a> on 3 March 1841 and attracted a then smallest ever field of 11 runners. </p><p>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. </p><p>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 <a href="/wiki/Cheltenham" title="Cheltenham">Cheltenham</a> Steeplechase who had to carry 13 stone 4 lbs. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Course">The Course</h2><span

class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The runners would set off from a grass field near Seeds lane and jump a small first fence before turning slightly right to jump a further four fences down a line of wheat fields to the first brook, described only as being familiar to Captain Beecher. The runners then proceeded left over a fallow field to take the seventh jump into a grass field to turn sharp left at the eighth obstacle, later to be known as the Canal Turn. Three further flights followed along the Canalside that took the runners over a large grass enclosure before jumping into and then out of the Melling Lane to re-enter the racecourse at its far extreme, known as the training ground. Once back in front of the stands, the runners took a hurdle at the site of the distance judge before leaping an artificial brook, which had replaced the wall, being the fifteenth obstacle. The competitors would then cover the same course again, with the exception of the artificial brook, which was bypassed on the run-in.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span

varied widely and depended greatly on which newspaper the reader chose to get their report from after the event with <b>Charity</b> and <b>Seventy-Four</b> both listed as pre race favourite in some publications, which also varied the state of the going with everything from good to heavy. Officially <b>Lottery</b> is recorded as favourite on officially good going. </p><p>The race was started two hours late at 3 pm with <b>Selim</b> setting off at a pace considered good for a flat race. He earned a ten-length advantage by Becher's Brook and was still travelling well when he was considered unlucky to land on boggy ground when jumping out of the last fallow field into the grass at the Canalside, the eleventh jump on the course, causing him to fall and lose his lead.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>Cigar</b> was now left in front as the other runners, seeing the fate of <b>Selim</b> chose a different racing line to avoid the boggy ground. <b>Legacy</b> took up the running as they jumped in and out of the lane, at which point <b>Goblin</b> fell.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>Legacy</b> continued to lead a well-bunched field over the hurdle in front of the stands where the pace then rapidly quickened as the field raced for the artificial brook, spurred on by the cheering of the crowd. <b>Cigar</b>, <b>Lottery</b>, <b>Oliver Twist</b> and <b>Charity</b> jumped in close order with the remainder close behind. </p><p>On turning back out into the country for the second time <b>Legacy</b> took up the running again. <b>Cigar</b>, <b>Peter Simple</b> and <b>Oliver Twist</b> adopted a different route down to Becher's Brook to the rest of the runners and bypassed the first jump, which was allowed, as long as the competitors raced outside the course marking flags. However, no real advantage, other than missing one fence, appears to have been made and the two groups were quickly reunited to jump the remaining fences to Becher's. By this stage <b>Selim</b> had made up the ground lost when falling and went back into the lead at the fence before the Brook. </p><p>At the fence before the Canal Turn <b>Oliver Twist</b> fell and may have hampered <b>Cigar</b> who was the only runner continuing who was detached from the main body, but he was able to get back the lost lengths to move into second behind <b>Charity</b> when <b>Selim</b> began to fade along the Canalside. <b>Cigar</b>, <b>Charity</b> and <b>Lottery</b> jumped the fence out of the lane together before <b>Charity</b> kicked on to three-length lead on entering the racecourse. Most of the field had every chance at this stage but the injection of pace now told on most of the competitors, and with a quarter-mile to run <b>Charity</b> had only the two greys in the race <b>Peter Simple</b> and <b>Cigar</b> challenging him. </p><p><b>Peter Simple</b> was beaten by the time the two leaders reached the final flight where <b>Charity</b> swerved sharply, causing Powell to have to hit him to try and get him back on a racing line. <b>Cigar</b> was badly hampered by this and almost fell, losing a couple of lengths in the process. From this point <b>Charity</b> maintained his advantage to win, with <b>Peter Simple</b> a further neck down in third place. <b>Revealer</b>, <b>Hawk</b>, the remounted <b>Goblin</b> and <b>Legacy</b> finished together, all claiming fourth place. The remainder were pulled up in the closing stages and were swallowed up by the crowd encroaching onto the course to hail the winner.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Finishing_order">Finishing order</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1841_Grand_National&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Finishing order"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable sortable"> <tbody><tr> <td><b>Position</b> </td> <td><b>Name</b> </td> <td><b>Rider</b> </td> <td><b>Age</b> </td> <td><b>Weight</b> </td> <td><b>Starting Price</b> </td> <td><b>colours</b> </td> <td><b>Distance or Fate</b> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Winner </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Charity_(horse)" title="Charity (horse)">Charity</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Horatio_Powell" title="Horatio Powell">Horatio Powell</a> </td> <td>11 </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>14/1 </td> <td>Crimson </td> <td>1 length </td></tr> <tr> <td>Second </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cigar_(steeplechase_horse)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Cigar (steeplechase horse) (page does not exist)">Cigar</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Allen_McDonough" title="Allen McDonough">Allen McDonough</a> </td> <td>11 </td> <td>4/1 </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>Green </td> <td>1/2 a length </td></tr> <tr> <td>Third </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Peter_Simple_(non_Grand_National_winning_racehorse)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Peter Simple (non Grand National winning racehorse) (page does not exist)">Peter Simple</a> </td> <td>T Walker </td> <td>7 </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>6/1 </td> <td>Plaid, red sleeves </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Fourth </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Revealer_(racehorse)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Revealer (racehorse) (page does not exist)">Revealer</a> </td> <td>P Barker </td> <td>7 </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>25/1 </td> <td>Crimson </td> <td>Last officially recorded finisher </td></tr> <tr> <td>Distanced </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Seventy_Four&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Seventy Four (page does not exist)">Seventy Four</a> </td> <td>Whitworth </td> <td>8 </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>14/1 </td> <td>Leopard skin </td> <td>Pulled up and walked in </td></tr> <tr> <td>5th-7th </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Hawk_(racehorse)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="The Hawk (racehorse) (page does not exist)">The Hawk</a> </td> <td>W Saunders </td> <td> </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>100/6 </td> <td>Yellow </td> <td>Finished among four horses battling for fourth </td></tr> <tr> <td>5th-7th </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Legacy_(racehorse)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Legacy (racehorse) (page does not exist)">Legacy</a> </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=William_McDonough_(jockey)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="William McDonough (jockey) (page does not exist)">William McDonough</a> </td> <td> </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>12/1 </td> <td>Scarlet plaid </td> <td>Finished among four horses battling for fourth </td></tr> <tr> <td>Distanced {remounted} </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oliver_Twist_(racehorse)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Oliver Twist (racehorse) (page does not exist)">Oliver Twist</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Tom_Olliver" title="Tom Olliver">Tom Olliver</a> </td> <td>6 </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>25/1 </td> <td>Green </td> <td>Fell at the fence between Becher's and Canal Turn second time, walked in with the crowd. </td></tr> <tr> <td>5th-7th {remounted} </td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Goblin_(racehorse)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Goblin (racehorse) (page does not exist)">Goblin</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Bartholomew_Bretherton_(jockey)" title="Bartholomew Bretherton (jockey)">Bartholomew Bretherton</a> </td> <td>10 </td> <td>12-00 </td> <td>25/1 </td> <td>Green plaid </td> <td>Fell at the fence out of the Melling Lane on the first circuit.
