Independent Sport interviews Lucinda Russell back in 2013, a year after glory at Cheltenham, as well as a personal disaster...

Jockey Derek Fox only returned to action from injury earlier in the week, now he's a Grand National winner. Here's what he just had to say to ITV:

It's unbelievable. I can't believe it. He just jumped so well, even though he was a long way back. He never missed a fence, within reason. He was unbelievable.

I was lucky to get back in time - I want to thank Jack Berry House. Without them I wouldn't have got back in time and I wouldn't have been as fit as I am.

Lucinda Russell is only fourth woman to train a Grand National winner.

She follows in the footsteps of Jenny Pitman, Venetia Williams and Sue Smith.

One for Arthur is owned by friends Belinda McClung and Debs Thomson, who go under the name of the 'Golf Widows'. 

Why? "When we bought Arthur three years ago, both our partners were playing a lot of golf," Belinda explained to the Mirror earlier this week.

"You have to have a partnership name, you can call yourself anything really, but we just decided for a bit of a laugh to call ourselves ‘Two Golf Widows’".

One for Arthur's assistant trainer Peter Scudamore speaking to ITV:

We've had to work hard to get where we are.

It's a personal pride to show you can compete with the big boys."
