Comply or Die wins Grand National
Timmy Murphy gave the David Pipe-trained Comply Or Die a superb ride to win the John Smith’s Grand National at Aintree.
The well-backed 7-1 joint-favourite was always travelling kindly and moved ominously well as a number of horses approached the last two fences.
Murphy waited with his mount until after the last and got a great response from the nine-year-old when he asked him to put his seal on the race.
Comply Or Die saw out the trip well to see off King Johns Castle (20-1) by four lengths, while Snowy Morning and Slim Pickings took third and fourth respectively.
