The 2-1 favourite has won the Grand National!
Mr. Big Time has been on top form for these past few races, and was the favourite until his old jockey walked out. A monkey, called Arnold, bizarrely stepped into his shoes, and took on the ride. "It was quite a spectacular performance, the horse and monkey seemed to of really gelled" Mr. Walters, the owner, said close to tears.
The pair were at the back for the almost the whole race, but when the others were tiring, Mr. Big Time put his foot down and came speeding through the finish! The crowd was speechless.
Without a doubt this day will go down in the history books. People are even speculating if the horse's old jockey could of won, personally I doubt it!
