Protestors cause delay to start of the 175th Grand National at Aintree

The start of the Randox Grand National was delayed by about 15 minutes after a number of protestors made their way on to the track at Aintree.

Animal Rising had threatened to disrupt the four-and-a-quarter-mile race and were protesting from early on Saturday morning outside the track.

The horses were sent back to the pre-parade ring, with the race eventually off at around 530pm.

Corach Rambler, trained by Lucinda Russell and ridden by Derek Fox, won the incident-packed race at 8/1.
