NICK ROCKETT WINS THE 2025 GRAND NATIONAL!
“He jumped fantastic. It’s been my dream since I was a kid, when I was five or six, reading books about the Grand National,” says winning jockey Patrick Mullins.
“He’s a brilliant horse, and he’s braver than I am,” he adds.
“Some result,” says Willie Mullins, who had number 1, 2, 3 and 5 there.
He’s very emotional as he’s interviewed.
“It’s lovely to be able to give your son a ride in the National, but to win it is unbelievable.”

1, 2 and 3 for Willie Mullins!
And his son has won the National as a jockey!
Nick Rockett and I Am Maximus cleared the alt fence in the lead and it was a straight out battle down the last straight.
The former led but it looked like I Am Maximus was finishing the better of the two, before Nick Rockett finished strong to win by over a length.
