I Am Maximus, trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend, won the headline 2024 Randox Grand National in the colours of JP McManus
I Am Maximus claimed the £1million Randox Grand National , delivering a second win in the race for Willie Mullins and first for jockey Paul Townend.
Defending champion Corach Rambler was the first casualty of the race, unseating jockey Derek Fox at the first fence. But that was the only drama as there was none of the pre-race controversy of 12 months ago which led to the race being delayed by 14 minutes by animal rights protesters. The Jockey Club reported all the horses returned safely and there were no injuries to jockeys. Mac Tottie, who was pulled up, was attended to by vets but was able to walk into the horse ambulance to be taken off the track for further evaluation.
