Damon Sinclair, director/producer of the footage, said the video aired over the Internet on race day and was shown at the race itself on several large television screens. The aerial footage, he said, provides a unique perspective on the race itself as well as the festivities.
"There are aficionados out there that would go to a steeplechase race in a blizzard, so it was seen all over," he said.
More than 35,000 attended this year's race in which Dawalan, ridden by jockey Ross Geraghty, won the $300,000 Grand National race, edging out Eshfiaal over the 2 5/8-mile course by one length.
