I Am Maximus wins Grand National for trainer Mullins

Willie Mullins secured his third consecutive triumph in the Grand National at Aintree, with I Am Maximus claiming victory as the 9-2 favorite. The 2024 winner and previous year’s runner-up overcame challenges to finish ahead of Iroko, Jordans, and Johnnywho. This win cements JP McManus as the most successful owner in the race’s history, adding to his previous victories with Don’t Push It in 2010, Minella Times in 2021, and I Am Maximus in 2024.

Historically, I Am Maximus made headlines by becoming the first horse carrying 11st 12lbs to triumph since Red Rum’s iconic 1974 win at 12 stone. The achievement underscores a notable milestone in the race’s legacy. Updates on other races and results will be shared shortly.
