England's Grand National Steeplechase has earned a reputation as the world's toughest race over fences. Horses and riders are tested over a four-and-a-half-mile course with 30 demanding jumps, and many starters fail to complete the race. Silver Birch, a wagering long-shot at 33-to-1, bested 39 other entrants in this year's contest. The horse was conditioned by first-year trainer Gordon Elliott and ridden by Robbie Power. Silver Birch trains and races on Prep 14, a conditioning sweet feed formulated by Kentucky Equine Research and manufactured by KER Team Member Blue Grass Horse Feeds.
