It was won in a time of 10 minutes 18.8 seconds, and by a distance of 1+1⁄4 lengths by 16/1 shot Miinnehoma, ridden by Northern Irish jockey Richard Dunwoody, his second Grand National victory. The winner was trained by Martin Pipe of Wellington, Somerset, and carried the red jacket with yellow star and sleeves and cap with red star of comedian Freddie Starr. The winning owner collected £115,606 of a total prize fund shared through the first five finishers of £194,000 (none of which was carried over from the aborted 1993 race). A maximum of 40 competitors were permitted but only 36 ran. All of the horses returned safely.[2]
