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.
