The 2025 Grand National at Aintree gave us everything we love about racing — drama, surprise, and a truly emotional finish. In a remarkable 33/1 shock, Nick Rockett, trained by the legendary Willie Mullins and ridden by his amateur jockey son Patrick, stormed to victory. It marked a family triumph and fulfilled a lifelong dream for Patrick Mullins, who described the moment as “beyond belief.”
Mullins didn’t stop there. His horses also filled the top three spots, with I Am Maximus and Grangeclare West completing an unforgettable 1-2-3 for the Irish trainer. It’s a result that will go down in Grand National history, and it has set the tone for what’s shaping up to be a thrilling spring racing season.
With Aintree behind us, attention now turns to Cheltenham’s April Meeting, taking place on Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th April. Though smaller in scale than the Festival in March, this two-day fixture offers great quality racing in a more relaxed atmosphere — a fantastic chance to enjoy the sport up close, without the crowds.
If you’re heading to Cheltenham, or simply want to mark the season from home, now is the perfect time to treat yourself or a racing fan in your life. At horseracinggift.co.uk, we specialise in gifts that celebrate the spirit of the turf — from bold, stylish socks to classic, well-crafted ties, all inspired by the world of horse racing.
