Hold your horses as Grand National delayed for wedding

THE Grand National is to start 25 minutes later on Saturday because of Britain’s royal wedding.

The race is traditionally run at 3.45pm and takes around 10 minutes to complete the four-mile, four-furlong course.

Prince Charles’s wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles will begin at 12.30pm, followed by a blessing in Windsor Castle at 2.30pm, the main event in terms of TV coverage.
