The tape rises and the crowds begin to roar as punters eagerly watch another chapter unfold in the history of the Grand National Meeting. Forty-two years after Foinavon steered his way around a pile up, the John Smith’s Grand National produced another 100-1 winner in 2009. This thrilling spectacle was no fluke, as Mon Mome’s won with a gritty 12-length victory.
