TRAINER Venetia Williams (left) and groom Sarah McQueen are pictured with their famous charge Mon Mome after the nine-year-old romped home to win Saturday’s Grand National at 100-1.
Williams became only the second woman to train a National winner and the success was the first with a county connection since jockey Michael Scudamore’s win on Oxo in 1959.
