William Hill Launches £500,000 ‘Half a Mill’ Grand National Bonus
William Hill are excited to announce the ‘William Hill Half a Mill’ bonus series, offering £500,000 to connections of any horse that can win both a key trial race and the Randox Grand National in the same season.
The bonus applies to winners of the William Hill Becher Chase (Aintree), Classic Chase (Warwick) and Grand National Trial (Haydock) who go on to triumph in the Randox Grand National at Aintree on 11 April 2026, doubling potential prize money to £1 million.
This new initiative rewards ambition and aims to reignite the competitive road to the National, echoing legends like One For Arthur, winner of the Classic Chase and Grand National in 2017.
A Historic First
In 2023, Lucy Turner made history as the first female jockey to win the Becher Chase, riding Chambard to an impressive 13-length victory.
This landmark moment added a new chapter to Becher Chase history and highlighted the rising talent of women in horse racing. Don’t miss your chance to see the next thrilling chapter unfold here at Aintree!
The Haydock Band
Guests will be welcomed by the Haydock Band, filling the air with cheerful seasonal music, while a festive choir adds to the Christmas spirit. A perfect way to soak up the holiday atmosphere before the racing begins.
