Antrim to host Aintree Grand Entrance Model of Randox Health Grand National Trophy

Written by

This year, we were , of course, delighted to secure support from our title sponsors who joined us fresh from the success of their first Randox Health Grand National.

Antrim Agricultural Society is proud to announce that through our partnership with Randox, visitors to this year’s show will get a chance to see the Aintree Grand Entrance model of the Randox Health Grand National trophy – the first time it has been shown to the public since being unveiled at the Randox Health Grand National earlier this year.

If you’re a fan of horse racing you won’t want to miss it so make sure you visit the statue by the Randox Marquee, alongside the Randox Health and Randox Food Diagnostics team.  Please stop by and ask them all your health-related questions.
