2009 Grand National Results

In the history of Grand National, which officially dates back to 1839, five winners have been returned at odds of 100/1. The most recent of them was Mon Mome who, on April 4, 2009, belied treble-figure odds when driven clear on the run-in to beat the 2008 winner, Comply Or Die, by 12 lengths. Trained by Venetia Williams and ridden by Liam Treadwell, Mon Mome had been sent off favourite for the Welsh Grand National at Chepstow the previous December so, despite indifferent form in that race, and two subsequent starts over fences, whether he deserved to be sent off at 100/1 at Aintree is a matter of conjecture. He certainly wasn’t complete no-hoper in the mould of Foinavon, the previous 100/1 of the National.

Seventeen of the 40 runners completed the course, including former Irish Grand National winner Butler’s Cabin, who was sent off 7/1 favourite to make amends for falling at Becher’s Brook on the second circuit, when well fancied, in 2008. He put in a clear round, but a blunder at the fence after Valentine’s Brook on the second circuit effectively put paid to his chance and he could only stay on at one pace to finish seventh, beaten 24¼ lengths by the winner. Tragically, one horse who failed to complete the course was Hear The Echo, as 33/1 chance trained by Michael ‘Mouse’ Morris and ridden by Davy Russell; the eight-year-old successfully negotiated all 30 fences, but collapsed and died a hundred yards from the finish line.
