The Grand National is the showpiece of jump racing and a worldwide event now displaying the best of British racing.
But one thing that catches the eyes of many spectators of both avid fans and neutrals of the sport at the Grand National, is the smattering of grey horses amongst the field.

Despite their popularity with viewers, grey horses winning the National is very rare.
The last grey to win the Grand National was Neptune Collonges in 2012.
Since then, the appeal of a grey getting over the line has increased with only a handful competing each year since.
Only three grey horses have ever won the Grand National since its inception in 1839.
What grey horse has won the Grand National?
The Lamb (1868, 1871) Nicolaus Silver (1961) Neptune Collonges (2012)The rarity of winners is primarily due to their small population in comparison to the rest of horses in training.
Chestnut, bay, brown and black are the most predominant of colours for a racehorse.
But still, every year we see the odd grey take on the 4m2f course.
Just three ran in the 2022 renewal out of 40 runners and this year is also looking to have just a handful.
What grey horses are running in the 2025 Grand National?
Intense Raffles 8/1 Vanillier 20/1 Kandoo Kid 25/1 Gentlemansgame 33/1 Hyland 40/1 King Turgeon 66/1 Coko Beach 100/1 Duffle Coat 100/1 Fil Dor 100/1It is very early days for the Grand National but the provisional list of grey horses are as above with this amount likely more than halved by the time the full declarations come out early next month.
This year’s renewal sees a maximum of 34 runners for the second time in a bid to better the welfare of horses.
Fewer runners couple with a higher restriction for a higher calibre of horses to qualify should translate to fewer fallers, unseated riders and those pulling up which was the case last year.
This year the greys are out in force even occupying four spots right up in the betting with Intense Raffles the clear favourite.
