The 1914 Grand National at Aintree was won by Sunloch, who would come away to win the contest by eight lengths.
Going on the day was described as good, and eight runners would finish the race.
This was the first attempt at the Grand National for Sunloch and a winning one. He would go on to run in the race once more in 1919, deciding not to run when the race was moved away to Gatwick Racecourse, instead waiting for the Aintree return.
The winning trainer was Tom Tyler, and this would actually be the only runner he ever had in the Grand National winning this one. Sunloch was pulled up in 1919.
W Smith was the winning jockey on the day. This would be the only Grand National success of his career. It would be his second attempt at winning the race, and he would have five rides in total.
