Racing News Round-Up
- I Am Maximus's regaining of the crown remains the talking point after Saturday’s Grand National, with the latest reaction centring on just how rare his achievement was. His second Grand National win has put him alongside the modern Aintree greats and inevitably sparked early chatter about whether he could now mount a Red Rum-style tilt at a third success next year.
- There has also been a positive update on Mr Vango after his Aintree fall. Connections are hopeful of a full recovery, which means the 2026 Grand National - despite seeing plenty of fallers and unseats - has seen no fatalities.
