Which Grand National silks have had the most success?

The Grand National has a storied history with famous winners carrying various silks into the winners enclosure.

But which colours have experienced the most success in the Aintree showpiece over the last 15 renewals?

Most successful colour

Carried by Mon Mome in 2009, green has been the most fortunate silk colour across the last 15 runnings of the Grand National with six different winners.

The prominence of owner JP McManus is largely responsible for this trend.

His famous silks have been carried to victory by the likes of Don't Push It, Minella Times and most recently I Am Maximus.

Most successful silk colour across the last 15 renewals:

• Green - Six
• Maroon - Three
• Blue - Two
• Brown - One
• Purple - One
• Yellow - One
• White - One

Most successful cap colour

After many years of trying, Don't Push It finally gave AP McCoy success in the Grand National at the 15th attempt.

Donning a white cap that day, that was the first of six winners over the following 14 renewals that carried the colour.

Also wearing a white cap, Derek Fox famously steered One For Arthur to glory in the Aintree showpiece to give Lucinda Russell her first National winner.

Most successful cap colour across the last 15 renewals:

• White - Six

• Blue - Two
• Green - Two
• Yellow - One
• Orange - One
• Purple - One

Most successful silk pattern

With back-to-back wins in 2018 and 2019, Tiger Roll will be forever associated with the Grand National.

The star across the front of his silks has been carried to success on four occasions in the last 14 years, the most of any silk pattern.

As well as Tiger Roll, Gigginstown Stud also owned 2016 winner Rule The World, who gave Mouse Morris the second leg of a famous Irish and English Grand National double.

Most successful silk pattern across the last 14 renewals:

• Star - Four
