Grand National 2013 Results

The 2013 Grand National run, on good to soft going, on April 6, 2013, had the distinction of being the first to be televised by Channel 4, having been broadcast on BBC between 1960 and 2012. After fatal injuries to two horses in 2011 and two more in 2012, further safety changes were implemented, including rebuilding the majority of the fences to make them more forgiving and moving the start closer to the first fence. Thankfully, there were just two out-and-out fallers, six more horses unseated rider, but there were no serious casualties and 17 completed the course

After achieving the best-ever finishing position by a female jockey in 2012, Katie Walsh was, once again, aboard Seabass, trained by her father, Ted, and the 10-year-old was sent off 11/2 favourite. No further history was to be made, though, as Seabass weakened into a tired thirteenth, beaten fully 85¾ lengths by the winner. The surprise winner was the 66/1 outsider Auroras Encore, trained by Sue Smith, who had failed to trouble the judge since just touched off in the Scottish Grand National at Ayr the previous April. However, the 11-year-old reportedly appreciate the better ground and greater distance at Aintree, having finished tailed off on his previous start, over just short of three miles on soft going, at Kelso in early March.

Ridden by Ryan Mania, Auroras Encore hit the fourth-last fence, but stayed on the lead at the last and was driven clear on the run-in to win by nine lengths. Cappa Bleu finished second, a neck ahead of Teaforthree who, in turn finished nine lengths clear of the fourth horse home, Oscar Yime.

Grand National 2014 Results

The 2014 Grand National had the distinction of being sponsored by Crabbie’s, the brand owned by Halewood International Ltd., and for the first time its history featured total prize money of £1 million. The winning prize money, £561,000, went the way of Pineau De Re, trained by Dr. Richard Newland and ridden by Leighton Aspell, who was not unconsidered at 25/1, having hacked up in a veterans’ handicap chase at Exeter and been beaten a nose and a neck in the Pertemps Network Final at the Cheltenham Festival on his last two starts.

Aspell had retired from the saddle in 2007, but returned to race-riding two years later and received just reward for his perserverance, as the 11-year-old led approaching the second-last fence and drew clear on the run-in to beat Baltahazar King, ridden by Richard Johnson, and the 10/1 joint favourite, Double Seven, ridden by Tony McCoy, by five lengths and one-and-a-quarter lengths. The other joint-favourite, Teaforthree, blundered and unseated Nick Schofield at The Chair, by which point the well-fancied Long Run, winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2011, was already out of the race, having fallen, when in the lead, at Valentine’s Brook on the first circuit. All told 18 of the 40 runners completed the course and all of them returned without serious injury.

Pineau de Re also ran in the Grand National again in 2015 but, off an 8lb higher mark and ridden by Daryl Jacob, could finish only twelfth, beaten 57¾ lengths by the winner. That winner was, of course, Many Clouds, trained by Oliver Sherwood and ridden by none other than Leighton Aspell.

Grand National 2016 Result

The 2016 Grand National, which took place on April 9, 2016, was notable for the slowest underfoot conditions – soft, heavy in places – since Red Marauder beat Smarty and just two other, remounted, finishers by a distance on heavy going in 2001. Channel 4 televised the race for the fourth, and final, time, with ITV acquiring exclusive, free-to-air broadcasting rights to British horse racing from Janury 1, 2017 onwards.

In the absence of O’Faolains Boy, a late withdrawal, 39 runners went to post and 16 of them completed the course. They were led home by Rule The World, a largely unconsidered 33/1 chance, owned Gigginstown House Stud, trained by Michael ‘Mouse’ Morris and ridden by 19-year-old David Mullins. Rule The World had won on his sole point-to-point start, as a four-year-old, back in 2011, but despite displaying high-class form, including when second in the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse in 2015, remained a maiden over regulation fences prior to the Grand National.

Nevertheless, Rule The World survived a jolting blunder at the fourth-last fence and, given time to recover by Mullins – who was having his first ride in the National – made headway into a close third approcahing the final fence. Switched to the outside on the run-in, he tackled the joint-favourite, The Last Samuri, in the last half a furlong or so and came home strongest of all to win by six lengths. In so doing, he became the first novice to win the Grand National since Mr. What sauntered home by 30 lengths back in 1958.

Grand National 2017 Results

“And Scottish flags are flying high!” or so exclaimed lead commentator Richard Hoiles at the climax of the 2017 Grand National, which was broadcast live on ITV (Independent Television) for the first time. The cause of Hoiles’ excitement was the fact that the winner, One For Arthur, trained by Lucinda Russell in Kinross, central Scotland, became just the second horse trained north of the border to win the Grand National, after Rubstic, trained by John Leadbetter in Denholm, near Hawick, in the Scottish Borders, in 1979.

Owned by Belinda McClung and Deborah Thomson, collectively known, for racing purposes, as ‘Two Golf Widows’ and ridden by Derek Fox, One For Arthur had already enjoyed a successful season, winning twice and finishing a staying-on fifth, beaten just three lengths, in the Becher Chase – over a seemingly inadequate three-and-a-quarter miles on the Grand National Course at Aintree – in between times. Consequently, he was sent off 14/1 fifth favourite for the Grand National proper and never really gave his supporters an anxious moment.

Always travelling and jumping well, One For Arthur led between the last two fences and had the race in safe keeping from the famous ‘Elbow’, halfway up the run-in, staying on strongly in the closing stages to win by four-and-a-half lengths. Winning jockey Fox had spent three weeks at Jack Berry House, the Injured Jockeys’ Fund facility in Malton, North Yorkshire, recovering from a broken wrist and collarbone sustained in a heavy fall in a novice chase at Carlisle the previous month. He had only been passed fit to ride by a British Horseracing Authority (BHA) doctor on the previous Monday and later admitted, “It was touch and go.”
