I Am Maximus stormed clear to win the Grand National for jockey Paul Townend and trainer Willie Mullins.
The 7-1 joint favourite triumphed by seven and a half lengths at Aintree from runner-up Delta Work, with Minella Indo third and Galvin fourth.
"What an unbelievable race and unbelievable horse," said Townend.
There was early drama in the famous race as last year's winner Corach Rambler unseated jockey Derek Fox at the first fence.
Mac Tottie, who was pulled up, was treated by vets and walked onto a horse ambulance before being taken to the stables for further assessment. There were no concerns about any other runners
Of the 32 starters, 21 horses completed the course and there were plenty with chances going into the final stages.
Rachael Blackmore looked like she might secure a second National win as Minella Indo challenged, while Kitty's Light finished fifth for Welsh trainer Christian Williams, whose young daughter Betsy is being treated for leukaemia.
But it was the team of Mullins, Townend and owner JP McManus who triumphed as I Am Maximus led home an Irish 1-2-3-4.
