Grand National marred by protests and disruptions.

The Grand National horse race was delayed after animal rights activists scaled fences around the perimeter of Aintree racecourse and got onto the track. The race was delayed as a result and the 39 horses were kept in the parade ring. The race started around 15 minutes late after the jockeys returned to the paddock, drawing a huge roar from the crowd. Corach Rambler, ridden by Derek Fox, stormed to victory. The 8-1 shot burst clear off the last fence and won comfortably from 20-1 chance Vanillier, with Gaillard Du Mesnil in third place.
