1884 Grand National


The 1884 Grand National was the 46th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 28 March 1884.

Finishing order

Note: In the 1880s the only official return was for the first, second, and third-placed horses. The lower finishing order listed is taken from the dedicated sports newspaper, Bell's Life, which published a more detailed account of the race than the syndicated report which appeared in most regional newspapers. However, the finishing positions from fourth must be regarded as unofficial.
