Last 3 Grand National Winners:
The Grand National is one of the most popular horse racing events in the UK. Every year a huge number of horse racing enthusiasts gather at Aintree for the mega race. An estimated 500 to 600 million people watch the race every year.
The horses have to cover a distance of 4 miles & 514 yards and jump over 30 fences. The race is considered as the ultimate test of the horse and the rider. Red Rum is its most renowned horse who won the Grand National thrice, in 1973, 1974 and 1977.

1- One For Arthur
One For Arthur is the Lucinda Russell trained Irish Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 2017 Grand National. He was the second horse trained in Scotland to get victory in the big race at Aintree.
One For Arthur started at odds of 14/1 in the 2017 Grand National which included Blaklion, Cause of Causes and Saint Are as well. Derek Fox who just returned from injury was the rider of One For Arthur. When 5 fences were remaining, Blaklion who was the 8/1 favourite was contesting Rogue Angel for the lead while Saint Are and Cause of Causes were not far behind. Blaklion was leading over Rogue Angel when two fences were remaining with Vieux Lion Rouge now in the third and One For Arthur making significant improvements.
One For Arthur was just behind Blaklion by the second last fence with Cause of Causes and Gas Line Boy also in close competition. However, One For Arthur soon took the lead and won by 4½ lengths to grab the 2017 Grand National title while Cause of Causes and Saint Are come in second and third positions respectively.
2- Rule The World
The Mouse Morris trained Rule the World won the 2016 Grand National as a novice. He was unable to win in 8 attempts in his first season though he managed to finish second in five of the races.

He started at 33/1 outsider for the 2016 Grand National in which Many Clouds, Silviniaco Conti and Shutthefrontdoor were also included.

He extended that lead further and won the race by 6 lengths with The Last Samuri in second and Vics Canvas in third.
