Rule the World, priced at 33/1, won the Grand National on Saturday afternoon and Mouse Morris, the horse's trainer, was understandably emotional following the race. The Galway native lost his son Christopher when he tragically passed away of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning while travelling in Argentina last year. This combined with the shock of seeing the horse he trained win the prestigious race meant Morris was struggling to articulate the wave of emotions he was experiencing when being interviewed by Channel 4. https://twitter.com/Channel4Racing/status/718839685682843648 Morris' flustered state was perfectly understandable, although some Twitter users were left bemused by his interview, and claimed not to be able to understand a word the 65 year old said. https://twitter.com/Jontymoeckell/status/718839356555935744 https://twitter.com/iamNick_Brown/status/718839655127523329 https://twitter.com/Tom_Hill96/status/718839447287173120 https://twitter.com/tinnie31/status/718839360339185664 https://twitter.com/BigAlSimmo/status/718839297621815296 However, considering the year Morris had, most were delighted for the trainer. https://twitter.com/DavidMcSweene12/status/718842080890654720 https://twitter.com/jduggantodayfm/status/718839273638739968 https://twitter.com/HonestFrank/status/718838951872765953 https://twitter.com/edsongsofpraise/status/718838392264515584 https://twitter.com/barrydempsey2/status/718837787005464576
