Today we are looking back on the Grand National from the weekend with Noble Yeats landing the 2022 feature race for trainer Emmet Mullins and amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen.
Noble Yeats became the first seven year old post World War II to land the 4m2f event and what made the race extra special was that rider Sam Waley-Cohen was having his last ride in the sport, retiring after that ride.
A race that saw unfortunately two horses pass away, with Eclair Surf and Discorama suffering fatal injuries, overall it was a race of great passion and saw 15 horses finish.
The Grand National is a race that nearly everyone in the UK watches and gets behind regardless if you are a racing fan or not and today we are celebrating Noble Yeats's victory.
Enjoy!
♥️ The perfect end to a remarkable career
