Grand National Past Winners: Six Shock Triumphs at the Aintree Race

MON MOME.2009
MON MOME.2009

We take a look back at some of the Grand National past winners, plus highlight six big-priced Grand National winning horses that prove the world’s greatest steeplechase really can be won by any of the runners.

Grand National Winners – Six Big Priced Shock Winners

2013 – Auroras Encore (1st 66/1)

Won the 2013 Grand National for trainer Sue Smith and jockey Ryan Mania at 66/1.
Came home by 9 lengths in the end, with Cappa Bleu and Teaforthree back in second and third. The horse was aged 11 when he won the race, which was a purple-patch age at that time with the 2012 and 2014 winners either side of Auroras Encore also aged 11.

Trainer Sue Smith became the third winning female trainer to win the Grand National, with Jenny Pitman (1983 & 1995), Venetia Williams (2009) and Lucinda Russell (2017) the other lady handers to win the race. However, Auroras Encore only raced three more times after winning the 2013 Grand National and failed to win another race.

2009 – Mon Mome (1st 66/1)

Caused a real shock in 2009 when coming home at odds of 100/1 to give the Grand National bookmakers a real payday.
Trained by Venetia Williams – who, at the time, became only the second female trainer to win the Grand National. Prior to winning the 2009 Grand National, Mon Mome was beaten 57 lengths in the Midlands National just 3 weeks earlier.

This 9 year-old was ridden by the late Liam Treadwell to get home by an easy 12 lengths and carried 11st to victory.

1967 – Foinavon (1st 100/1)

Shot to fame in the 1967 Grand National and even had one of the fences named after him as a result.

He probably would have never have won the Grand National had there not been a pile up of horses at the 23rd fence. He was way out the back at the time and avoided the trouble, jumped the fence and eventually went onto win the race. The 23rd fence was named after him in 1984.

1947 – Caughoo (1st 100/1)

Another huge-priced winners of the Grand National, when this Irish-trained 8 year-old won by 20 lengths in 1947.

This was the 101st running of the Grand National, while a massive 57 horses ran in the race, which was the biggest field since 1929.

1929 – Gregalach (1st 100/1)

The second year in a row that we saw a 100/1 winner of the Grand National. The 1929 running was the 88th renewal of the world’s greatest steeplechase and was the largest field to ever run in the race, with 66 horses taking part.

1928 – Tipperary Tim (1st 100/1)

This Irish-trained 10 year-old won the 1928 Grand National at 100/1 and was the complete outsider of the 42 runners. The race was run in foggy conditions and very heavy ground, which resulted in most of the runners – barring Tipperary Tim and another horse called Billy Barton to fight it out.
