The 2023 Grand National (officially known as the Randox 2023 Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 175th annual running of the Grand National horse race. It took place on Saturday 15 April 2023, at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England.[1] The event was sponsored by Randox Health with Natasha Jonas acting as ambassador.[2]

The race was won by Corach Rambler who was trained by Lucinda Russell in Scotland and ridden by Irish jockey Derek Fox, who had both previously won the Grand National in 2017 with One For Arthur.[3]

The race start was delayed by 14 minutes, following protests by campaign group Animal Rising, the first such disruptions since the cancellation of the 1993 Grand National due to a series of false starts and the 1997 Grand National due to the IRA bomb threat. 118 arrests were made by Merseyside Police, for both "criminal damage and public nuisance offences".[4]
