Retiring Sam Waley-Cohen is the first amateur to win since I triumphed on Mr Frisk in 1990 - plus Jim White writes on an Aintree fairytale.

Not that the pleasure was restricted to Liverpudlians. Standing on the steps above the parade ring, watching the Waley-Cohen family celebrate, were a dozen race fans from Ayr, dressed in matching, noisy tartan suits. A group of women dressed as if for a June wedding in micro skirts and complicated hats cheered on Waley-Cohen, one of them, wrapped up in not much more than what appeared to be a handkerchief, shivering uncontrollably as she did so. But if he was certain, the odds suggested few others were. A year ago, Sam Waley-Cohen had thought it was going to be his last Grand National. He had announced his retirement from all competition before the race. But then that day he had a fine ride, coming home eighth on the 80-1 outsider Jett. So he decided to give it one more go, another spin round Aintree when the crowds were back in attendance. This time, in a world of increasing professionalisation, it was won by a guy who rides for fun, doing it for his dad. All afternoon, in a gusting wind capable of chilling someone in Arctic explorer gear, young Liverpool had resumed its annual fashion parade as if dressed for an audition on Love Island. This is not like Cheltenham, all tweed and Peaky Blinders caps. Alongside him, his dad, wearing the family grin, reckoned Sam had started riding “a rocking horse from the day dot” dreaming of this moment. When Waley-Cohen made the same stroll, his progress was soundtracked by a rumbling, growling cacophony. I was the fifth since the War and it was beginning to look like a sixth would never come. I am usually impartial but I was roaring him on from the last. When I was riding there were always three or four good, experienced amateurs riding in the race each year.
