2025 Grand National
Updated: 12/11/2025, 8:43:35 AM Wikipedia source
The 2025 Grand National (officially known as the Randox 2025 Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 177th annual running of the Grand National horse race. It took place on Saturday 5 April 2025, at Aintree near Liverpool, England. The winner was Nick Rockett, trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by his son, amateur jockey Patrick Mullins. The death of Celebre d'Allen two days after the race, following his collapse after the last fence and subsequent lung infection, led to widespread public concern, as well as criticism of racing and the British Horseracing Authority from animal rights groups.
