In the years 1916-18, a wartime substitute for the Grand National was held at the now-defunct Gatwick racecourse in Sussex on the site of the present international airport.
Organised by the National Hunt Committee, Edward Topham of Aintree Racecourse played an advisory role in staging these races and received a special award from Pratt & Co, managers of Gatwick, for his help.

Considerable changes were made to the course to try and resemble Aintree as much as possible and the races were run over the same distance, although 29 rather than 30 fences were jumped. The programme of fence building at Gatwick was supervised by five leading trainers of the day.

Subsequent Aintree Grand National winners Poethlyn, Shaun Spadah and Sergeant Murphy took part in the 1918 contest at Gatwick. The 1916 race was run as the Racecourse Association Steeplechase and for the next two years as the War National.
The winners of these races were:
1918 Poethlyn 08-11-06 Ernie Piggott Harry Escott Mrs Hugh Peel 5/1
1917 Ballymacad 10-9-12 Edmund Driscoll Aubrey Hastings Sir George Bullough 100/9
1916 Vermouth 06-11-10 Jack Reardon J Bell P F Heybourne 100/8
