Who Won The 2022 Welsh Grand National?
The 2022 Welsh Grand National was won by popular 11-year-old The Two Amigos, who was sent off at a big price of 16/1 but made all with a fascinating performance to win the contest at the third time of asking.
Nicky Martin’s charge was fifth in the race in 2019 and came second in 2020, but eventually got his head in front under David Pritchard in a “third time lucky” effort.
