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.
