This impressive feat is among the biggest bets ever laid on the race, as revealed by bookie Johnny Dineen on ITV. He couldn’t believe his ears, stating: “It’s the biggest bet we’ve ever laid by a mile!”

Trainer Willie Mullins made history again, becoming the first since Vincent O’Brien in the 1950s to achieve three consecutive wins at Aintree. Mullins now joins an elite group of four-time National-winning trainers. 🎉

Mullins shared the spotlight with I Am Maximus’s owner, JP McManus, who decided to keep the horse in Aintree rather than going down the Gold Cup route. This strategic move clearly paid off!

In a remarkable display, Iroko secured second place, ensuring a 1-2 for owner McManus. Jordans and Jonnywho followed suit in third and fourth positions, respectively.

Once again, the Grand National delivered edge-of-your-seat excitement and life-changing wins! 🏇💰
