Grand National Results 2015: Many Clouds wins

Many Clouds won the 2015 Grand National in fine style at Aintree.
The 25/1 winner was ridden by Leighton Aspell - who triumphed in last year's race with Pineau de Re.
Here's what trainer Oliver Sherwood has said after seeing his charge take the spoils:
"I can't put it into words. It is the best moment of my life, bar marrying my wife. I can't believe it. I watched it on my own. Rainbow Hunter fell and then we were in front. It was some spin. I am delighted."

Crabbie's Grand National 11.04.15

Crabbie's Grand National 2015
We are pleased to report that no fatalities were reported at the 2015 Grand National , despite a major fall leading to the Canal Turn being bypassed on the second circuit.
The race was won by Many Clouds , who came through the field to take control of proceedings late in the race.
The Canal Turn, one of the most iconic fences on the Aintree course, was left out on the second circuit because Balthazar King fell first time out.
It was later confirmed both Balthazar King and jockey Richard Johnson were up and apparently unscathed.
However there was sadness earlier in the day as Seedling died after a fall in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle.
Many Clouds came sixth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the eight-year-old was only rated a 50/50 chance by trainer Oliver Sherwood as recently as March.
But he showed great stamina and held off a late challenge from St Are, as there was no fairytale finish at Aintree for Champion Jockey AP McCoy.
