The 2024 Boylesports Irish Grand National, one of the most thrilling horse races of the year, wrapped up with a stunning finish. This year’s race was a nail-biter with only ten horses making it across the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year, the Irish Grand National attracts a mix of seasoned bettors and casual fans who pick their favorite horses in various ways. Some rely on professional betting tips, while others choose based on the jockey’s colors or the horse’s name. However, a little research on trends and statistics from the past decade could improve your chances of picking a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Historical patterns reveal that winners of the Irish Grand National often carry less weight, typically around 10-08 or lighter. Age also seems to play a role, with horses aged 6 to 8 years old having a better chance of winning. Interestingly, favorites only clinch the title about 30% of the time, so it might be wise to consider horses with odds above 12\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, a horse that has shown endurance by winning or placing in races longer than 3 miles would have been a good bet, especially if they hadn’t unseated their jockey in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The excitement of the Irish Grand National continues to captivate fans and bettors alike, with its unexpected outcomes and the exhilarating performance of the horses. Now, with the 2024 race behind us, it’s time to start looking forward to next year’s event. Will you follow the trends, or will you go with your gut?
