2004 Grand National: Amberleigh House

Amberleigh House wins the 2004 Grand National with a strong surge to the line in a thrilling finish and a fairytale success for Aintree legend Ginger McCain, son Donald McCain and jockey Graham Lee. With Clan Royal for Jonjo O'Neill and Lord Atterbury for Martin Pipe tiring in the closing stages, Amberleigh House forged to the finish to triumph at the grand age of 12 and at 16/1. Hedgehunter made a gallant attempt on his first Grand National attempt but came down at the final fence - he emerged fine from his tired fall and went on to contest the Grand National a further three times, notably landing the 2005 Grand National the following year and then finishing runner-up behind Numbersixvalverde at Aintree in 2006.
