I Am Maximus Wins Grand National
The Paul Townend-ridden I Am Maximus delivered a powerful performance to secure his second Grand National victory, delighting a massive global audience.
The win cements the horse's place among the all-time greats of jump racing and provides owner JP McManus with another prestigious trophy.
However, the festival was marred by the death of Get On George, the second fatality of the meeting.
Jockey Toby McCain-Mitchell also received a 10-day ban for failing to pull up a tired horse prior to a fall at the final fence.
