Grand National Trainers With Best National Records

The Grand National has proved to be a race where certain trainers have had continued success.
These trainers know what is required to win the Grand National. This could be their year all over again! We will pay special attention to their runners.

David Pipe Runners

Martin Pipe's son David is now very much forging his own reputation and he has had multiple entries in the Grand National since taking over from his father. Comply Or Die won the race for him in 2008 and even with a hefty rise in the weights last year he still managed to finish an excellent 2nd. Look out for him again in 2010. This is Davids record since he took over from his father.

Venetia Williams Runners

With her success in 2009 Venetia Williams became the first lady to win the Grand National since Jenny Pitman in 1995. Williams will definitely try and bring Mon Mome back in 2010 to be the first horse to defend his crown since Red Rum but is also likely to add at least a couple of other horses to her team for Aintree. This is how Ventia has faired with her runners over the past decade.

2008 - 10th
2007 - Pulled Up, Unseated Rider

Grand National Trainers With Poor Grand National Performances

Some more popular trainers havent such a good record in recent years despite many of their runners being well fancied. For example Paul Nicholls has recorded just one place from 34 grand national runners in the past 10 years.

Only one of Nicky Hendersons 11 runners over the past decade has completed the course

Philip Hobbs has managed a 2nd but 9 non finishers over the last decade

So the grand national tip from the trainers is beware of backing a horse just becuase its from a popular yard. But do play close attention to the runners of David Pipe, Willie Mullins, Nigel Twiston Davies and Jonjo O Neill.
