Highlights of the 1940 Grand National (British Pathé)

The 1940 Grand National was the 99th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 5 April 1940.

Thirty horses ran in the steeplechase, which was won by Bogskar, a 25/1 shot ridden by Royal Air Force sergeant Mervyn Jones. MacMoffat finished in second place, Gold Arrow was third, and Symaethis fourth.

It was the last true Aintree Grand National before a five-year break due to World War II.
