Grand National 2023 fallers - which horses failed to finish Aintree race

The Grand National winner for 2023 has been confirmed as Corach Rambler jumped to victory in the big race at Aintree today.

39 runners and riders took to the famous racecourse for this year's renewal, with Corach Rambler emerging as 8/1 favourite in the betting market ahead of the late start. The race was due to get underway at 5.15pm, but was hit with delay after the course was stormed by animal rights activists.

Vanillier finished second, going off at 20/1, with Gaillard Du Mesnil third, Noble Yeats fourth and The Big Dog fifth.

Earlier this afternoon, a horse named Dark Raven fell in the 3pm Mersey Novices' Hurdle race and had to be put down. It was the second horse death of this year's meeting, following a fatal injury for Envoye Special on Thursday. Protesters from Animal Rising group gathered outside the course today to make their feelings on the sport known.

In the last decade, British Racing has invested more than £20m into veterinary activities including research and education. The governing body also has self-imposed and enforced welfare standards which they say exceed national animal welfare legislation.
