The 1990 Grand National (officially known as the Seagram Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 144th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England, on 7 April 1990. The off time was 3.20pm. Mr. Frisk won the race in a time of eight minutes and 47.80 seconds, breaking Red Rum's 1973 record by 14.10 seconds. He was ridden by amateur jockey Marcus Armytage. This record still stands, even though the race has been 342 yd (312.72 m) shorter since 2013.
