It was first run over a one hundred year period from 1865 to 1965 as part of Aintree's autumn meeting and was run over a distance of just under three miles. Originally, the Grand Sefton was one of the most important events of the autumn, but after the Second World War its popularity waned as Aintree's fortunes foundered. In 2003, the race was revived and run on the first day of the November Becher Meeting and run over the same fences as Aintree's most famous race, the Grand National. It is now usually run on the first Saturday in December.

gollark: I guess testing it on a wide range of people would help too.
gollark: And why release a proof of concept into the wild and not just test it locally?
gollark: One must wonder what they actually plan to use it for. Calculating pi in people's brains isn't very useful.
gollark: Or error correction.
gollark: Maybe you could add checksums somehow.
