Grand National 2025 Result

Saturday, April 5, 2025 proved to be a red-letter day, not so much for the Grand National itself, but for County Carlow trainer Willie Mullins. Mullins saddled six runners, including his 2024 winner I A Maximus, five of which finished first, second, third, fifth and seventh, thereby netting £860,000 in prize money. Mullins went on to win the British National Hunt Trainers’ Championship – which is decided on total prize money won during the season – for the second time in 2024/25, by just £199,427 from Dan Skelton, so his Grand National haul was instrumental in achieving his seasonal tally.

Despite being 8lb higher in the weights than in 2024, I Am Maximus was the choice of Mullins’ stable jockey Paul Townend and was sent off marginal second-favourite, at 7/1, behind only Iroko, trained by Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, at 13/2. I Am Maximus did his level best to defy the welter burden of 11st 12lb and join the hallowed band of multiple Grand National winners, but ultimately had to give best to Nick Rockett, who was ridden by Mullins’ son, amateur jockey Patrick, and to whom he was conceding 4lb.

Sent off a generous-looking 33/1, Nick Rockett was always travelling strongly, led narrowly after the second-last fence and found enough in the closing stages to see off the challenge of I Am Maximus, eventually winning by two-and-a-half lengths. Grangeclare West, ridden by Brian Hayes, did not help his cause by making a mistake at the final fence, but stayed on to get within half a length of I Am Maximus and complete the Mullins’ 1-2-3.

Grand National 2022 Results

The 2022 Grand National took place, on good to soft going, on April 9, 2022 and featured the then-maximum number of 40 runners, just over half of which, for the first time, were trained in Ireland. Three Irish-trained horses, Noble Yeats, who was making his Aintree debut, Any Second Now, who had finished third behind Minella Times in 2021, and Delta Work, another debutant, filled the first three places.

Owned by Robert Waley-Cohen, trained by Emmet Mullins in Bagenalstown, County Carlow and ridden by Sam Waley-Cohen, the younger son of the owner, Noble Yeats had won just once over regulation fences prior to the Grand National. He had been beaten the best part of 20 lengths when only ninth of 24 in the Ultima Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival on his previous start and, off the same handicap mark, lined up at Aintree as a largely unconsidered 50/1 chance.

However, Sam Waley-Cohen, a leading amateur rider, who had announced two days previously that Noble Yeats would be his last-ever competitive ride, would not be denied. Having held up Noble Yeats towards the rear of the field in the early stages, Waley-Cohen made steady headway to track the leaders at the Canal Turn on the second circuit and hit the front shortly after the second fence from home. Any Second Now led, briefly, jumping the final fence and the pair fought a ding-dong battle all the way up the famously long run-in. Hard ridden, Noble Yeats stayed on the better of the two, eventually winning by two and a quarter lengths, with a long-looking 20-length gap back to Delta Work in third place.

Grand National 2015 Result

The 2015 renewal of the Grand National took place, on good to soft going, on April 11, 2015 and, for the first time in over a decade, featured one shy of the then-maximum number of 40 runners. The race was won by Many Clouds, a 25/1 chance, owned by Trevor Hemmings, trained by Oliver Sherwood and ridden by Leighton Aspell. The eight-year-old was left in the lead when Druids Nephew fell five fences from home and, having held a three-length lead soon after the final fence, had to be ridden right out in the closing stages to hold the rallying Saint Are by a length and three-quarters.

Aspell was winning the National for the second year running, after a five-length victory on Pineau De Re in 2014, while Hemmings, nicknamed ‘Mr. Grand National’, had previously won the race with Hedgehunter in 2005 and Ballabriggs in 2011. The winning time of 8 minutes and 56.8 seconds was the fastest since Mr. Frisk set the record time of 8 minutes and 47.80 seconds, on firm going, in 1990.

The race was also notable for the final appearance of Sir Anthony McCoy, who would retire two weeks later, having won the National Hunt Jockeys’ Championship in each of his 20 years as a professional. McCoy had stated that he would retire with immediate effect if his mount, Shutthefrontdoor, sent off 6/1 favourite, won the National. However, having chased Many Clouds approaching the final fence, Shutthefrontdoor faded on the run-in, losing two places in the last hundred yards, and could eventually finish only fifth, 13 lengths behind the winner.

Grand National 2002 results

After the spectacle, some may say absurdity, of the 2001 renewal, the 2002 Grand National, run on good going on April 6, 2002, was a relatively sedate affair. A maximum 40 horses went to post, 11 completed the course and the race was won by 20/1 chance Bindaree, trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies and ridden by Jim Culloty.

Indeed, the eight-year-old proved to be a fortunate ‘spare’ ride for Culloty, who was deputising for the injured Jamie Goldstein. The Kerryman had never before finished, never mind won, the Grand National but, having won the Cheltenham Gold Cup on Best Mate the previous month, completed a memorable double.

Having led from Becher’s Brook on the second circuit, Bindaree was headed at the final fence and looked booked for second place when What’s Up Boys, the 10/1 co-third favourite, ridden by Richard Johnson, took a three-length lead halfway up the run-in. However, Bindaree was not to be denied and, switched to the inside, regained the lead close home to win by a length and three-quarters in a driving finish. The 8/1 favourite Blowing Wind, who had been remounted to finish a distant third in 2001, was third again, 27 lengths behind the front pair.

At the time of his death, aged 30, in September 2024, Twiston-Davies said of his Grand National hero, “It’s not just me who owes Bindaree so much. We were on the verge of quitting.If we had done, there’s a real chance that my sons Sam and Willy wouldn’t have had the opportunities to achieve what they have done.”
