Grand National 2004 Result

The 2004 Grand National was won by Amberleigh House. Every year the National brings back into focus some individual or story and the story behind Amberleigh House is the trainer Ginger McCain who was having his first success in the race since his much loved Horse Red Rum won the race 27 years before in 1977. It was obviously a very special moment for him and seems to have rejuvenated his trainer career as he is now having more success after some lean years.

Grand National 2003 Result

Other horses to take out of the race was Ambeleigh House who ran a blinder and as history now knows came out and went two better by taking the race the following year.

Grand National History

This section give a good background to the History of the National. While every year this great race has something new to shout about the 1993 event will go done in history as- This National that wasn't. When the race was started Richard Dunwoody got the tape stuck round his neck and a false start was given. Unfortunately the flagman did not see the flag so he never signalled for a false start. Consequently some horses stopped at the start and some horses stopped halfway while 7 carried on to complete the course with "Esha Ness" and John White winning for trainer Jenny Pitman only to be told that the race was void. Hopefully such an incident will never happen again.
