Record Crowd Expected

At Aintree

Liverpool, Mar. 25-The biggest cer- tainty about tomorrow's Grand National steeplechase at Aintree, Liverpool is that it will be watched by a large crowd-possibly a record.

But it is a sheer gamble as to which of the huge field of about 45 horses will be past the winning post first..

It should be the right sort of day for well- backed fancied chasers, with the going good and not much likelihood of horacs slipping on landing on the wet turf. But this world-famous chase always has been a lottery. Luck, and lots of it, is always required to win.
