Where did they film the Grand National scenes?


Looks pretty realistic to me.

The Grand National is a National Hunt horse race held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, England. First run officially in 1839, it is a handicap steeplechase over 4 miles 3½ furlongs with horses jumping 30 fences over two circuits. It is the most valuable jump race in Europe, with a prize fund of £1 million in 2014.

That was not what the poster asked.

Those scenes were filmed at The Uplifter's Club in Pacific Palisades, Ca.
