"I Am Maximus Triumphs in 2024 Grand National at Aintree"

I Am Maximus, ridden by jockey Paul Townend and trained by Willie Mullins, won the Grand National at Aintree, finishing seven and a half lengths ahead of Delta Work. The race saw early drama with last year's winner unseating the jockey at the first fence, but 21 horses completed the race, the highest number since 1992. The victory puts Mullins in contention for the British trainers' championship, and there were also notable wins for Gordon Elliott and jockey Jack Kennedy on the day's card.

Animal rights activists disrupt Grand National race, leading to over 100 arrests.

More than 100 people were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and public nuisance offenses after animal rights activists scaled fences around the perimeter of Aintree racecourse and got onto the track, delaying the Grand National horse race. The activists affixed themselves to the race fences using glue and lock-on devices, according to the Animal Rising organization, before being taken away by police and security officials. The Grand National is regarded as one of the most dangerous horse races in the world because of the size of the fences, and changes were made in 2012 to make the course safer.
