Talk:Aintree Hurdle

Race Distance
This race was formerly run over a distance of 2 miles 5 1/2 furlongs. It was certainly run over that trip when Monksfield dead-heated with Night Nurse in 1977, and also when Aonoch won in 1987 but I can't find a reference to when the distance changed to the present 2m4f.

Search no more - the distance was changed in 1988. Zafonic 20:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you - I did have a look but with no success! Bcp67 21:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
