Nation's favourite race claimed by huge outsider.

Rank outsider Mon Mome shocked the Betfair markets when landing the Grand National at enormous strong>in-running odds of [1000.0] this afternoon.

Venetia Williams' nine-year-old went off at a Betfair SP of [143.0] but touched [1000.0] on three occasions throughout the course of the four-and-a-half mile steeplechase.

Few - if any - predicted anything for Mon Mome, EXCEPT for Betting.Betfair columnist Robin Adams who marked the horse out as one of four potential winners in his Grand National tipping column: http://betting.betfair.com/horse-racing/events/aintree-grand-national-odds/looking-for-ways-to-select-310309.html.
