Winners' acceptance speech on behalf of ITV Sport for The Grand National in the Sport category
PAUL MCNAMARA: There's a few of us. It was a big field. Thank you so much. This was only the 20th race day that we ever did and The Grand National is a truly big event. If I thanked everybody involved I would be here until Tuesday, so thank you firstly so much to everybody who worked on the programme behind the screens. There were 60 cameras. There were over 600 people on site. So, thank you for all their professionalism and their dedication.
Thank you so much to all of our wonderful talent on screen led by the brilliant Ed Chamberlain. It's been a real privilege working with you.
Thank you to Aintree, who host such a marvellous event, and, lastly, thank you to everybody in racing. It's their support and their help that allow us to make the programmes that we strive to make. So, thank you very much.
SPEAKER: I just want to say these guys here are just a small part of what we do, because racing is 12 months of the year. The Grand National is fantastic, but from here we have got the Derby looming, we have got Royal Ascot and we have a huge and wonderful team that I love working with. But I just want to say a huge thank you to the jockeys, the trainers, the owners, and the horses, most importantly, that make it possible.
This is huge for horseracing. Thank you.
