Nick Rockett Triumphs in Historic Grand National

Nick Rockett`s victory in the 2025 Grand National marks a historic achievement for trainer Willie Mullins and jockey Patrick Mullins.

Nick Rockett, an eight-year-old son of Walk In The Park, clinched victory at the 2025 Grand National held on April 5 at Aintree. Under the skilled guidance of jockey Patrick Mullins, Nick Rockett delivered a stunning performance, overcoming the odds as a 33/1 outsider. This win is particularly significant as it marks trainer Willie Mullins` unprecedented achievement of securing the top three positions in the race, with I Am Maximus finishing second and Grangeclare West taking third.

The Grand National was a challenging affair, with only 16 of the 34 horses completing the race, highlighting the demanding nature of the event. Among the incidents was a serious fall involving Broadway Boy, which added to the tension of the day. Patrick Mullins expressed his elation, describing the victory as a dream come true, further solidifying the Mullins family`s dominance in National Hunt racing.

In addition to the Grand National, Aintree hosted other notable races, including the William Hill Top Price Guarantee Handicap Hurdle, won by Deep Cave, and the Turners Mersey Novices` Hurdle, claimed by Honesty Policy. Meanwhile, the British Eventing Project Pony Observation Trial at Larkhill showcased young riders, although specific results from this event were not detailed.
