Bookmakers report “flat” Grand National turnover compared to last year in the Racing Post.

Greg Knight, managing director of Jennings Bet, and fellow independent bookmaker Howard Chisholm, both described betting on Saturday’s race as “flat” when comparing it to the previous year. Knight mentioned that while retail betting had generally recovered to where it was before the pandemic, the National is lagging behind.

He added that the National remains the biggest betting race of the year, but compared to before the pandemic, turnover on the National remains down.
