Champion jockey Tony McCoy triumphed in the John Smith's Grand National at the 15th attempt, when Don't Push It landed a public gamble in the world's greatest race.
McCoy, who only chose to ride the horse over stable companion Can't Buy Time in the last seven days, laid the ghost of many bad luck stories in the Aintree spectacular with a textbook ride on the 10-1 joint favourite.
Priced at twice those odds in the morning, the 10-year-old had never been the most fluent of jumpers and overcame a number of errors in the race to win for McCoy's boss - owner JP McManus - and trainer Jonjo O'Neill.
