Ep 144: The Racing Edge Podcast Ep 62 – J.J. Slevin joins our Grand National recap
Monday, 13 April, 2026
No Irish rider recorded more winners at the 2026 Randox Grand National Festival than J.J. Slevin, who joins this week’s episode of The Racing Edge Podcast - looking back at a massive three days at Aintree. Home By The Lee and Zeus Power ensured the leading rider visited the winner’s enclosure on Merseyside last week, and he also was just touched off in second on Solness in an absorbing Melling Chase battle with Grey Dawning. Later in the show, Mark Boylan is joined by Anne Marie Duff and Amy Lynam to reflect on I Am Maximus’ historic win off top-weight in the feature - Willie Mullins’ third consecutive win the race. What are his prospects of emulating Red Rum with a third straight Grand National triumph next year? Amy was on reporting duty at Leopardstown for the track’s classic trial card on Sunday and gives her assessment of the meeting, which included a notable defeat for the early Betfred Derby favourite Pierre Bonnard. As always, the team round off the show by highlighting their horses to follow for the week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
