Here's the video of the race:

"After 14 failed attempts, many of which led to him being deposited into the Aintree turf, at long last Tony McCoy gloriously filled the one glaring omission from his glittering CV by partnering the winner of the John Smith’s Grand National."
"With tears in his eyes and a lump in his throat, the icy veneer he usually displays cracked after Don’t Push It, the 10/1 joint-favourite, bounded five lengths clear of the gallant Black Apalachi; State Of Play and Big Fella Thanks filled the minor places."

This is the story which was in de Racing Post. Old Vic is doing well in the National Hunt.
BBC TV is great, the program was on the screen for more than three hours.
