A false start caused the race to be delayed by around eight minutes. 1924 was the last year the Grand National would be started from a general riding start, with the now-familiar 'tape' introduced at the line the following year. Winnal gained an advantage of 20 lengths by the Canal Turn on the second circuit, when he was hampered by a loose horse and refused. The race was won by Master Robert, a 25/1 shot ridden by jockey Bob Trudgill and trained by Aubrey Hastings for owner Lord Airlie, who collected the £5,000 prize for the winner. Fly Mask finished in second place, Silvo in third and Drifter fourth. Thirty horses ran and all returned safely to the stables.http://www.greyhoundderby.com/GN1924.html Grand National 1924The Grand National 1839-1930 by David Hoadley Munroehttp://www.sportsbookguardian.com/horse-racing/grand-national/winners Grand National Winners – Sportsbook Guardian 2015-05-27 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131227085539/https://www.sportsbookguardian.com/horse-racing/grand-national/winners 27 December 2013 https://www.grandnationalultimatehistory.com/races-1924.html 1924 Forty-five camera operators were deployed to capture the race on film, the most to have ever gone to record a sporting event at the time.
