===International winners=== [[File:Battleship USA horse.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Battleship (horse)|Battleship]] is the only horse to win both the [[American Grand National]] and the English Grand National steeplechase races]] *{{Flagicon|France}} Two French-trained horses have won the Grand National: Huntsman (1862) and Cortolvin (1867). Seven other winners were bred in France β Alcibiade (1865), Reugny (1874), Lutteur III (1909), [[Mon Mome]] ([[2009 Grand National|2009]]), [[Neptune Collonges]] ([[2012 Grand National|2012]]), [[Pineau De Re]] ([[2014 Grand National|2014]]) and I Am Maximus ([[2024 Grand National|2024]]).<ref name="aintree.co.uk"/> *{{Flagicon|USA}} In 1923, Sergeant Murphy became the first U.S.-bred horse to win the race. He is also the joint-second oldest horse to win, at age 13, alongside Why Not (1884).<ref name=nostalgia/> The U.S.-bred [[Battleship (horse)|Battleship]], son of the famous [[Man o' War]], became the first (and so far only) horse to have won both the Grand National (in 1938) and the [[American Grand National]] (which he won four years earlier).<ref name=timeline/> Both [[Jay Trump]] (1965) and [[Ben Nevis (horse)|Ben Nevis II]] (1980) won the [[Maryland Hunt Cup]] before winning the Grand National. *{{Flagicon|Australia}} Jockey William Watkinson recorded the first riding success for Australia in 1926. He was killed at Bogside, Scotland, less than three weeks after winning the National.<ref name=timeline/> *{{Flagicon|New Zealand}} [[1991 Grand National|1991]] was the seventh and final year that the Grand National was sponsored by [[Seagram]]. Aptly, the race was won by a horse named Seagram, bred in New Zealand. [[1997 Grand National|1997]] saw another New Zealand-bred winner in [[Lord Gyllene]]. *{{Flagicon|Austria}} [[Karl, 8th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau|Count Karl Kinsky]] recorded the first riding success for Austria when he won the [[1883 Grand National]] while riding his own horse [[Zoedone]].
