Race won this year by Sam Waley-Cohen riding Noble Yeats (5,8)

I believe the answer is:

grand national

(Other definitions for grand national that I've seen before include "Famous steeplechase" , "Annual Aintree race" , "Horse race" , "annual competition" , "Annual steeplechase at Aintree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
