Randox Grand National.
The Randox Grand National is the most famous Steeple Chase in the world, taking place every year in April at the Aintree Racecourse, in Merseyside. Broadcast on ITV, this worldwide event attracts an estimated television audience of around 600 million, with more than 150,000 people enjoying the action live over the course of the three-day racing festival. Following the announcement that Randox will be extending their sponsorhip of The Grand National Festival for a further five years, Dr. Peter FitzGerald CBE, Founder and Managing Director of Randox, said:
“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with The Jockey Club’s team at Aintree and look forward to another
successful five years, when we are once again able to come together to celebrate the Randox Grand National.”

We offer veterinary testing!
As sponsors of the Grand National, the welfare of horses is extremely important to us, here at Randox.
Vets, trainers, and owners have been working with us for years to help them better understand the health and well-being of horses
The latest edition to the Randox Veterinary diagnosis panel is the VeraSTAT-V, a convenient stable-side device designed to detect the earliest signs of inflammation. The VeraSTAT-V measures levels of Serum Amyloid A (SAA), the fastest blood marker to rise in response to inflammation, quickly and accurately.
We have also just introduced our NEW Foal IgG test to the VeraSTAT-V testing menu. Essential IgG antibodies are not transferred maternally to a foal within the womb, meaning the foal is born with no immune system to defend itself from potential bacterial infections outside the womb. Low IgG levels can lead to further complications such as pneumonia and arthritis.
