A 100-1 outsider, the French-bred Mon Mome, ridden by Liam Treadwell, won the race by 12 lengths from the previous year's winner Comply or Die - he was the longest-priced winner of the famous race since Foinavon in 1967.

Mon Mome was trained by Venetia Williams and owned by former international bridge player Vida Bingham. He was ridden by Liam Treadwell, who was tragically found dead in 2020 after a battle with depression. A hugely talented jockey and a thoroughly likeable man, Treadwell rode more than 300 winners.

    He will always be remembered...thank you Liam and Mon Mome.
  • He gave it a great ride. I was second that day but my goodness you had to appreciate just how fantastic Mon Mome was on the day.

    Rip Liam. Shame on Clare balding and her ignorant comments. If she has got any

    Black Apalache was going so well, You’d think it wouldn’t have been far away had it stood up, But there was a long way to go still when it went at Bechers

    100-1? So much for odds. In this race, only the bestest of the best win. To win not by a length, but by 10 easily!!!. 30 hedges, 4.5 miles. All these horses are the best of the best. Some fall, but continue running, as they were taught do do. This race puts all other races to shame!
  • I backed this horse because it was no15 but I only put £1 eway on it. I had £10 eway on comply or die!!!
