2010 Grand National Results
The 2010 Grand National will live long in the memories of the connections of the winner, Don’t Push It, and anyone who joined in the nationwide gamble that shortened his odds from 22/1 on the morning of April 10, 2010 to 10/1 joint-favourite at the ‘off’. Those connections were, of course, owner John Patrick ‘J.P.’ McManus, trainer Jonjo O’Neill and acclaimed jockey Anthony Peter ‘A.P.’ McCoy, all of whom were winning the world-famous steeplechase for the first time.
McCoy, the most successful jump jockey in history, had made 14 previous attempts to win the National, but had never finished better than third. However, Don’t Push It – who reportedly “appeared to lose interest” when pulled-up in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival on his previous start – was on his best behaviour, making headway to track the leaders early on the second circuit, leading two out and forging clear on the run-in to win by five lengths. Black Apalachi, who could find no extra in the closing stages, finished second, while State Of Play kept on to finish a modest third, a further 20 lengths behind.
Reflecting on ‘his day’, the ever-modest McCoy said later, “If you get enough goes at something and you keep going, once you’re in there you’ve always got a chance.” Leading bookmakers were less appreciative of his efforts, though, with William Hill describing it as a “black-armband day” and Ladbrokes as a “a multi-million-pound bloodbath”. McCoy and Don’t Push It had another crack at the National in 2011, finishing a modest third behind Ballabriggs.
