Grand National 2024 Result
The Grand National has undergone various safety changes in recent, but perhaps none more noticeable than in 2024 when, for the first time in 30 years, the maximum number of runners was reduced from 40 to 34. The start time was also moved forward by an hour and a quarter, to 4pm, with a view to providing safer underfoot conditions for participants. As it happened, on the morning of April 13, 2024, two horses were withdrawn, reducing the total field size to 32 runners, the smallest since 1999.
On the prevailing soft going, the Grand National was won by the 7/1 joint-favourite, I Am Maximus, owned by John McManus, trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend. Victory for the eight-year-old was a third for McManus, after Don’t Push It in 2010 and Minella Times in 2021, a second for Mullins, after Hedgehunter in 2005, and a first for Townend.
Winning the Grand National off a handicap mark of 159, or the equivalent of 11st 6lb, could hardly be described as straightforward, but I Am Maximus completed his task with a minimum of fuss. His only semblance of a jumping error came at the penultimate fence on the first circuit, The Chair, where he was less than fluent but, patiently ridden, he was not produced to lead until passing the Elbow, halfway up the run-in. Switched to the outside to make his challenge, he swept past the eventual third, Minella Indo, inside the final hundred yards or so and ran on well to win by seven and a half lengths, with something in hand.
