Nick Rockett won the 2025 edition of the Grand National in thrilling fashion, beating defending champion I Am Maximus to the finish post to claim glory in the world’s greatest horse race.
Thousands of spectators watched on at Aintree Racecourse and millions more from their television screens at homes and pubs around the country as Nick Rockett made history on Saturday afternoon.
I Am Maximus was the pre-race favourite having triumphed in the 2024 edition of the race, but was denied back-to-back Grand Nationals by Nick Rockett, who led home a one-two-three for trainer Willie Mullins.
In what was a family affair, Nick Rockett was ridden by the trainer’s son, Patrick, as the 33-1 shot outsider proved too strong for I Am Maximus in a dramatic Aintree race.
Grangeclare West took third to round out a clean sweep of the podium places for the Mullins stable.
Rounding out the top six places were Iroko, Meetingofthewaters and Senior Chief whose efforts are sure to please punters who decided to place an each way bet on the race.
