Lord Lariat – 150th Irish Grand National Winner

Lord Lariat got his name on the roll of honour at odds of 40-1 under jockey Paddy O’Hanlon.

Lord Lariat wins the 2022 Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse by almost 5 lengths. What a great day for all connections involved including jockey, Paddy O’Hanlon and trainer, Dermot McLoughlin.

It was an extra special day for McLoughlin, who has now trained the BoyleSports Irish Grand National winner two years in a row.

We are delighted to stand his sire, Golden Lariat, here at Tullaghansleek Stud.

RACE OVERVIEW

While there were plenty of fallers in behind, there was not much change at the front end for much of the three-mile, five-furlong journey, with Frontal Assault giving a bold sight for a long way.

Lord Lariat joined him early in the home straight and galloped on strongly from the second-last to claim big-race glory by almost five lengths. Frontal Assault filled the runner-up spot, while the 11-2 favourite Gaillard Du Mesnil jumped and travelled strongly for a long way but ultimately had to make do with minor honours in third. Screaming Colours and Early Doors finished fourth and fifth respectively.
