I have some free Virtual Grand National 2020 Tips for you all but first a bit about the race itself.
With the real Aintree Grand National 2020 canceled we have to rely on the Virtual grand national to replace the excitement and thrills of the best British horse race in history.
The race is designed by Inspired Entertainment and will run on ITV at 5pm this Saturday April 4th 2020. The race has been pre recorded but beware anyone claiming to know the result as apparently the result has been a closely guarded secret by all involved.
The TV special virtual grand national broadcast will also have a featured race of champions, which is a simulation of previous Aintree greats being tested in an epic clash between 40 famous race winners.
Virtual Grand Nationals are a thing of the future perhaps given the current climate but can they really come close to the real thing? Well, it’s a tough ask but let’s hope it delivers, apparently it is based on the actual form of the original field and obviously all 40 runners have the same names as their real counterparts.

Who Will Win The Virtual Grand National?
I would think that if a computer is fed with the form figures of the real horses it should obviously point to only one winner, Tiger Roll?
There is only one flaw in this plan and that is that all of the fences information has been fed into the CGI also so can we expect fallers? I am not sure if this is a thing just yet but we will find out on Saturday.
Proceeds from the betting which will be limited to around £10 per horse are all going to the NHS which is fantastic so for once in our lives by gambling we are helping the NHS too!
Obviously it’s hard to provide selections for a virtual race but here are my fancies based on it being run to the real horses form figures.
My Virtual Grand National 2020 Tips
So taking into consideration of the computers and CGI going of actual information fo the real horses my main selection will be Tiger Roll and here are my other each-way picks.
Double Shuffle
Magic Of Light
Any Second Now
Let’s hope for a cracking race and I wish you all luck. Stay safe, stay at home, protect the NHS, and save lives all.
The horse racing tipsters are all saying Tiger Roll, but I am going against the grain here.
