Grand National Handicap Steeplechase (NH-3) hero Noble Yeats has died at the age of 11 after suffering from colic, shortly after the fourth anniversary of his Aintree triumph for the Waley-Cohen family and trainer Emmet Mullins. Noble Yeats, who won the 2022 Grand National at odds of 50-1 under Sam Waley-Cohen in the silks of his father Robert, was spending his retirement at his owner's stud in Oxfordshire when the health issue became known April 15.
