The 2022 Grand National (officially known as the 2022 Randox Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 174th annual running of the Grand National horse race. It took place on Saturday, 9 April 2022, at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, England.[1] The event was sponsored by Randox Health.[2]

The race was won by Noble Yeats, trained by Emmet Mullins and ridden by Sam Waley-Cohen, with final odds at 50/1.[3] Waley-Cohen became the first amateur jockey to win the Grand National since Marcus Armytage on Mr Frisk in 1990,[4] while Noble Yeats became the first seven year old to win the race since Bogskar in 1940.[5] The race was Waley-Cohen's last race before retirement.[6][7]
