The 1911 Grand National was the 73rd official steeplechase which took place at Aintree Racecourse 24 March 1911.
The only moving images of the race turned up in a London auction in 2007, found by Angus Loughran, and first shown to the public in a BBC documentary "THE BIG FLUTTER: THE GRAND NATIONAL ON FILM" in 2011.
Torrential rain caused many riders to fall. Twenty two out of the twenty six runners failed to finish.
