Noble Yeats wins 2022 Grand National to give amateur Sam Waley-Cohen 'fairytale' final ride

Mullins' horse won the National by two and a quarter lengths. Delta Work was 20 lengths back in third place. Santini was the first British runner home in fourth. Minella Times and Racheal Blackmore came down at the 9th. Snow Leopardess, the grey mare, struggled to lay up and was pulled up. There were 15 finishers from the 40 starters. Mullins is the latest rider to be added to the race's roll of honour. He turns 40 next Friday. His nephew Willie is also a rider. The horse was well handicapped. It could have gone down the Graded route.
