Rule The World Won The Grand National 2016

Rule The World won The Grand National 2016 and we bask in reflected glory! Many congratulations to Michael O’Leary, David Mullins and Mouse Morris. Rule The World is the first British-bred winner of the Grand National since Red Marauder (a son of the late Shade Oak Stud stalwart Gunner B) triumphed in 2001. So why do we at Aloeride bask in some reflected glory? It’s because we supply Yorton Farm Stud where the sire of Rule The World, Sulamani (RIP Feb 2017) stood at stud. The class and stamina Rule The World showed in overhauling The Last Samuri at Aintree was a fine advertisement for Sulamani. David Futter explained that the Grand National result was not only important for sending more business Sulamani’s way, but it was also timely for those breeders who used him in recent years. Aloeride is very proud to have a complementary role in the successful breeding of very promising racehorses.

“We will see how he summers, then we will talk to Mouse. But I can’t imagine he will be coming back to Aintree to defend his title. I could not stand the thought of losing him. If he never runs again, who cares? What more does he need to do?” Michael O’Leary
