Liam Treadwell, the jockey who won the 2009 Grand National on the 100-1 shot Mon Mome, has died. He was 34 years old.

On the tenth anniversary of his greatest victory he recalled a sea of blank faces as he pulled up after crossing the line on one of one of the five horses in the history of the race to have started at such long odds. The others, two of whose wins were precipitated by pile-ups, were Foinavon in 1967, Caughoo in 1947, Gregalach in 1929 and Tipperary Tim in 1928.

Bookies were celebrating last night after a 100-1 rank outsider became the longest-priced horse for more than 40 years to win the Grand National. Bet calculator american odds. Mon Mome's victory is the greatest shock in the.

He told Telegraph Sport: 'I think everyone was as shocked at the victory as I was. It was a bit surreal. It had not sunk in. I started debriefing Venetia [Williams, the trainer] like I'd just won a little race at Plumpton and she said: ‘You've just won the Grand National, you don't have to tell me how it unfolded.'

  2. Mon Mome's win in 2009 defied the odds – almost literally – as the 100/1 shot was the biggest priced winner of the race for more than four decades, while he also stopped Comply or Die from making it back-to-back National wins.
  3. Another remarkable tale and another 100-1 winner came along in 1967 as Foinavon defied the carnage to win under first-time Grand National rider John Buckingham. At the 23rd fence in the race, Popham Down veered to his right and a mass pile-up ensued as contenders ran into each other, refused to jump and generally unleashed mayhem.

His ten minutes of fame was extended when Clare Balding, who was hosting Aintree for the BBC, made a reference about his teeth saying he could afford to go and get them done now if he liked.

She had assumed they were the result of falls but they were a condition, the milk teeth he was born with. However one person who seemed unbothered by her comments was the jockey though many viewers were indignant on his behalf and, as a result, a dentist picked up on it and offered him a free set of new teeth.

In the same interview he said: 'It must be one of the kindest things she's ever said – they're still gleaming.'

However a fall at Bangor in February 2016 proved life-changing. He was knocked out for four minutes, which left him with headaches, impaired short-term memory and his concentration 'all over the shop'.

After that he was plagued by mental health issues and, finding the pressure of race-riding too much, he quit in February 2018. 'Every ride felt like the be-all-and-end-all,' he said. 'I had to take myself out of that environment.'

He went back to Williams in Herefordshire as assistant but found it a bit too much too soon, and joined the Flat trainer Ed de Giles to get away from jumping for a while. One day de Giles asked him to school some horses to freshen them up, and after initial doubts he recalled feeling happier afterward had he had done in ages.

The winners of these tournaments were crowned Bellator champions, with the winners of successive tournaments in the same weight class earning the spot of no.

One thing led to another, and he took out his licence again. Things really began to pick up last season, however, when he joined Herefordshire trainer Alastair Ralph as jockey/assistant.

The trainer was starting to go places and Treadwell was not only back in the winners again but Ralph gave him the project of the point-to-pointers to train in a neighbouring yard. However after many point-to-points were lost to the bad weather the season was curtailed half way through March by coronavirus so they never got to have many runners.

Very open about his mental health issues, and reflecting on the progress made by racing in recent years, he said: 'It has come a long way with its understanding of mental health issues but it still has some way to go. Jockeys have this image of being indestructible. You get a fall, you get back as soon as you can, you're fine, you stick your chest out and hold your chin up high.

'I love my cricket. Cricketers see sports psychologists the whole time but if you told some trainers you wouldn't be in to ride out in the morning because you were seeing a psychologist he'd ask, ‘What's wrong with you?''

Williams, the trainer of Mon Mome, described Treadwell as 'one of the family'. She said: 'Dandy Nicholls rang me up one day saying he had this guy who could ride and said he could do the weight on the flat but couldn't and that he needed to go to a jump yard. Apart from two years when he went Nick Gifford's he was here most of his career.

'He was a lovely guy and rode umpteen winners for us. How to cheat lottery machine. In the National Aidan Coleman had the choice of rides and he found it difficult and let it run to the wire. So it wasn't really a case of first or second string – we definitely thought they had equal chances in the yard and as Mon Mome had won a £100,000 chase at Cheltenham earlier that season it was the price which was a surprise.

'It was his first ride in the National and the plan was to take the brave man's route down the inside and he did it to the letter. When he retired the first time I offered him the job of assistant so he knew he always had something to fall back on. He was here a while but then said he needed more time out and I was delighted when he got the link up with Alastair Ralph and start riding winners again. It's desperately sad.'
