A Night at the Races
Join our Director of Veterinary Postgraduate Education, Cathy McGowan and one of our Senior Lecturers, Harry Carslake as they present on two special events to celebrate the Aintree 2019 Grand National!
The University of Liverpool has a close relationship with Aintree Racecourse—our specialist equine veterinarians provide trackside support at the Grand National race, and the Management School has introduced a Master’s programme in Horseracing Industries. During the week before this year’s Grand National, these talks by University of Liverpool experts will reveal what makes the racehorse an elite athlete superior to humans, and the unique challenges facing that most enduring of British sporting traditions, horseracing. An independent art historian will highlight the work of Liverpool-born George Stubbs, who painted the most famous racing horses in the 18th century. A Walker Art Gallery Stubbs exhibition in 2006 featured “curatorial assistance” from an admirer, beloved Grand National trainer Ginger McCain.
