Boodles Unveils the Official Randox Grand National Trophy
The countdown to the world’s greatest steeplechase begins as the 2025 Randox Grand National is officially unveiled, promising another year of sporting excellence, history, and spectacle at Aintree Racecourse.
This year’s event, set to take place on 3rd – 5th April 2025, will once again captivate millions worldwide as elite jockeys and thoroughbreds compete for glory over the iconic fences of Aintree. The Randox Grand National remains a beacon of world-class racing and sporting heritage.
A Trophy Steeped in History and Innovation
Boodles, a distinguished name in British Luxury, has a long-standing relationship with the Grand National, dating back to its early days as ‘Boodle & Dunthorne.’ With its origins in Liverpool in 1798, Boodles has a deep connection to the city and its racing culture. Throughout the years, the jeweller has crafted several Grand National trophies, and this latest design is a striking testament to its craftsmanship and passion for equestrian sports.
The 2025 Randox Grand National Trophy is not just a prize; it’s a masterpiece that embodies the spirit of Randox and the Grand National.
Inspired by Randox’s advancements in healthcare and biochip technology, the trophy features a unique molecular structure and DNA helix elements–each comprising sixteen spheres and bars, symbolising the sixteen jumps of the Randox Grand National course.
Mounted on a stunning green malachite base, the design also pays homage to Randox’s signature brand colour, seamlessly merging science, sport, and artistry.

Randox Health is at the forefront of preventive healthcare, pioneering diagnostic solutions that enhance human well-being.
