History in numbers

The number of fallers in the 2024 renewal of the Grand National

- 

Rachael Blackmore (below) is the only woman to ride the winner of the race, guiding Minella Times to victory in 2021.

There were just two finishers in the 1928 renewal as Tipperary Tim beat the remounted Billy Barton by a distance. Remounting was banned in all races by the British Horseracing Authority in 2009.

Three greys have come out on top in the race. The Lamb won in 1868 and 1871 before Nicolaus Silver landed the 1961 National. The most recent grey to win was Neptune Collonges in 2012.

Only three trainers have won the race four times. Ginger McCain won three times with Red Rum and also trained Amberleigh House to glory to enable him to join Fred Rimell and George Dockeray.
