The 1979 Grand National was the 133rd renewal of the world-famous Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 31 March 1979.[1][2]

The race was won by Rubstic who was the first ever Scottish-trained winner.

The favourite Alverton died in the race, a month after winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Another fatality was Kintai, who had to be put down later on.
