With a bumper field of 39 runners in the 175th edition of the Grand National, you can be forgiven for struggling to spot your horse among the crowd. Spare a thought for the poor commentators!
Luckily, there’s an easy peasy way to keep track of the runners… the jockeys’ silks! As the horse numbers can be tricky to see amid the fast and furious action, the bright colours that the riders don will help you tell the horses apart.
GRAND NATIONAL RESULTS
HOW DID YOUR HORSE GET ON?
Here’s all of today’s Aintree Results from every race on the card
The outfits come in all manner of bright colours and patterns so you’ll want to know what you’re looking out for when the race gets going at 5.15pm.
We’ve got you covered for the Grand National 2023 with our useful image below with the silk colours for all 40 runners and riders.
You’ll notice that a number of riders are wearing the same silks. That’s because the colours and patterns are associated with owners as opposed to the trainers or jockeys.
A number of owners have multiple runners in this year’s Grand National including Gigginstown House Stud, with four, and JP McManus, who has five!
So how do you tell them apart? That’s where you’ll have to look extra hard as the riders in the same silks have different coloured caps. For example, Jonjo O’Neill Jr – on Fury Road – sports Gigginstown’s maroon colours and white star on his cap while Delta Work’s jockey Keith Donoghue has a white cap.
