  • With the help of our friends at JockeyCam, here's the view that Danny Mullins had as he tackled the world's most famous fences aboard Meetingofthewaters in the 2024 Randox Grand National.
    Coming to the final fence, he's right in with a chance - but the race didn't go without some drama on the way to that point as you will see!

    What an amazing video and insight into how the race was ran and unfolded. I had not realised that the winner I am Maximus had saved so many lengths holding the inside all the way. Great run too from Meetingofthewaters the host to camera for this film of the race. The best result too that all came home safe. Thank you for this unique film perspective of the race it is very special.

    I have read many comments about this year being such a boring race. Personally I am ecstatic that all the horses and jockeys came back safely after " punters " have moaned that the race is too easy now after too many modifications. With only 34 horses running this year, I think the LACK of falls confirms that 40 runners is too many.
    The lowest fence on the course is still 4f 6in high, Beechers is 4ft 10in high with a landing side 10in lower.....the highest fence, the chair is 5ft 2in high with a 5ft ditch on the take off side.....still a formidable fence with 34 horses rushing to it at speed and not to forget it is also the narrowest fence on the course. The horses still have to run 4 miles and 3 1/2 furlongs (only 90 yards shorter distance than before) with a jockey on their back AND they are handicapped with "dead" weight , over 30 fences of at least 4ft 10in in height, I wonder how many of the punters would be able to achieve this.
    Although some of the fences have been modified by inches........you could now argue that with so many finishing this year.....it is not so much a race of chance .........but a race of stamina and exceptional jumping ability !

    My first National was Red Rum´s in 1973 and I cannot ever remember a race with no fallers. The National is a totally different race nowadays, with some of these fences resembling brush hurdles. I´m pretty sure the days of 100-1 shock winners is over.

    • @niallmcentee9400

      There were 4 unseats which basically means the jockey fell off but the horse didn't actually fall. Probably stumbled and unbalanced the jockey who couldn't stay on. But you are absolutely correct, no horses actually fell

      It's a test of being able to jump consistently well over a 4 and a quarter mile race. It's not a stroll in the park.

    Tbe national fences are a joke as for the water jump!

He'd have laughed at the state of this years renewal,, it's gotten to the point where they'll be forcing show jumping fences in the future.

      @MsVanorak Місяць тому

      tops of the fences level with the running rail, so about 4ft. loosely dressed with fir over a stiffer plastic core - so really 3'6" - the same as a hurdle!
