'''Mon Mome''' (foaled 29 April 2000) is an [[AQPS]] [[racehorse]], which won the [[2009 Grand National|2009]] [[John Smith's Brewery|John Smith's]] [[Grand National]] at [[Aintree Racecourse]], run on April 4, 2009. It was ridden by [[Liam Treadwell]] and trained by [[Venetia Williams]]. He won by 12-lengths at odds of 100–1, making Mon Mome the largest-priced winner since [[Foinavon]] in [[1967 Grand National|1967]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/horse_racing/7982075.stm|title=Grand National 2009|publisher=[[BBC]]|date=2009-04-04|accessdate=2009-04-04}}</ref>
Mon Mome was victorious in the second of three attempts to win the Grand National, having finished tenth in [[2008 Grand National|2008]] and parting company with rider [[Aidan Coleman]] in the [[2010 Grand National|2010]] race at the twenty-sixth of the thirty fences.
His victory in the 2009 race was exactly a century since the previous victory by a French bred horse in the Grand National.
He was also third in the [[2010 Cheltenham Gold Cup]].
He was retired at the age of 13, with his last appearance being at Warwick on 10 March 2013. Trainer Williams said: "He's been an amazing horse to train and gave me the best day of my career when winning the Grand National."<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/horse-racing/22010222 Grand National: Mon Mome, 100-1 winner in 2009, is retired].
