Noble Yeats: 2022 Grand National winner dies at age of 11

Owner Robert Waley-Cohen, who bought Noble Yeats two months before the National win, said: “He looked very unwell on Wednesday so the vet came and everyone was up all night hoping he would pull through but unfortunately he went the other way.

“It was a terrible moment.

“He was living the life of a retired horse in the field. [2011 Gold Cup winner] Long Run and [2011 Grand National runner-up] It’s Oscar Time.”
