I Am Maximus became a two-time Grand National winner as trainer Willie Mullins celebrated his third consecutive victory in the race at Aintree.
The 2024 winner and last year's runner-up came into the race as the 9-2 favourite and backed that up by finishing ahead of Iroko, Jordans and Johnnywho.
It made Irishman Mullins, who won the race for a fourth time in total, the first trainer since Vincent O'Brien between 1953 and 1955 to win in three straight years.
The win means that JP McManus is now the leading owner with four wins in the historic race - backing up the victories of Don't Push It in 2010, Minella Times in 2021 and I Am Maximus in 2024.
I Am Maximus is also the first horse to win the race in non-consecutive years since Red Rum's second and third victories came in 1974 and 1977.
McManus could also boast owning three of the top four in Saturday's showpiece race, with only Jordans not in his stable.
Further history for I Am Maximus was made by him becoming the first top weight at 11st 12lbs to win since Red Rum carried 12 stone to victory in 1974.
