Grand National 2023 Results
On April 15, 2023, the start of the Grand National was delayed for 15 minutes by animal activists, 118 of whom were arrested by Merseyside Police for criminal damage and public nuisance offences. Once underway, though, the race proceeded without further incident.
On good to soft going, as has become customary at Aintree in recent years, the Grand National was won by the 8/1 favourite, Corach Rambler, trained by Lucinda Russell and ridden by Derek Fox. Both trainer and jockey were winning the race for a second time, following the victory of One For Arthur in 2017.
Fresh from victory in the Ultima Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, for the second year running, Corach Rambler made steady headway from Valentine’s Brook on the second circuit to lead at the final fence and looked all over the winner when shaken up to go clear on the run-in.
However, he did, briefly, give his supporters an anxious moment when, approaching the ‘Elbow’, he started to idle in front and carry his head high. Meanwhile, Vanillier, trained by Gavin Cromwell and ridde by Sean Flanagan, who had been 12 lengths behind jumping the final fence, made up ground hand over fist and looked, momentarily, as if he might be a danger. He continued to stay on strongly all the way to the finish line, but Corach Rambler was always doing enough and passed the post two and a quarter lengths to the good. He thus became the third Scottish-trained horse to win the National, after Rubstic in 1979 and the aforementioned One For Arthur.
