There were four casualties, but they were all unseated riders. The quartet included the 2023 winner Corach Rambler who exited at the first fence and then fell at the second when running riderless. He was unscathed afterwards as were all the National runners. Seven horses were pulled up. “The changes have clearly had a very positive impact. I think it was probably the cleanest National I’ve ever seen,” the Jockey Club’s chief executive, Nevin Truesdale, said.
Rachael Blackmore, who partnered Minella Indo into third, and was a 2021 winner on Minella Times, said the race didn’t feel any less exciting to ride. “It’s how we advertise what we have and if that doesn’t convince people that it’s a wonderful sport, I’m not sure what will.”
