Check out the 2023 BoyleSports Irish Grand National result after a fantastic race that capped off a great Easter weekend at Fairyhouse.
2nd Gevrey, Trainer - Gordon Elliott, J - Kevin Sexton
3rd Defi Bleu, Trainer - Gordon Elliott, J - Gavin Brouder
4th Dolcita, Trainer W P Mullins, J - Danny Mullins
5th Panda Boy, Trainer - Martin Brassil, J - Ricky Doyle
6th Angels Dawn, Trainer - S Curling, J - Philip Enright
27 horses ran in the 2023 BoyleSports Irish Grand National but only six horses finished the race with all of these horses placing each-way with BoyleSports two extra places for the race.
Rachael Blackmore’s mount Amirite went off the 11/2 favourite in Easter Monday’s €500,000 showdown at Fairyhouse, but it was champion jockey Paul Townend who took the plaudits as he dug deep to steer the son of Authorized to victory by a length ahead of Gordon Elliott’s Gevrey.
The victory means Mullins now has two BoyleSports Irish Grand National victories on his CV having broken his duck in 2019 when Burrows Saint landed the spoils under Ruby Walsh.
Mullins will now be eyeing a major double as both Gaillard Du Mesnil and Mr Incredible are prominent in the betting for the Aintree Grand National on Saturday as 12/1 third favourites.
Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said:
“The Mullins/Townend combination and the JP McManus colours were the perfect ingredients for punters in the BoyleSports Irish Grand National and I Am Maximus was very well backed in the 48 hours before the off.
A Grand National double for Willie Mullins would come as no surprise and we anticipate a real spike in support for his runners in Saturday’s big one at Aintree.”
The Aintree Grand National is fast approaching and you can check out our full preview of the Grand National including analysis of all the big names in the race.
