Cheerful racegoers broke out into song while travelling home from this year's Grand National.
Crowds of people smartly dressed in suits and signature race hats and fascinators were caught on camera singing along to DJ Ötzi's 2000 hit 'Hey Baby' while riding the train from Aintree to Liverpool Central today, April 15, bringing the party atmosphere to Merseyrail.
Happy racegoers had piled onto the train after watching Corach Rambler's victory at the 175th run of Britain's most famous steeplechase.
Following a successful run at last month's Cheltenham Festival, the nine-year-old gelding made a clear run for the lead after starting as the 8-1 favourite, crossing the finish line ahead of Vanillier in second place and Gaillard Du Mesnil in third.

Racegoers' spirits remained high despite a 12-minute delay caused by a group of animal rights activists, who scaled a security fence and ran onto the track with the aim of putting a halt to the events.
In a statement, the group, Animal Rising, said it wanted to prevent potential horse deaths. Three horses died during this year's festival, including Hill Sixteen, who fell during the opening stages of the final race and suffered fatal injuries.
Lucinda Russell, who trained Corach Rambler, insisted the horse "loved" racing and was well looked after.
She said: "Those guys that went out to protest on the course, they think it's about horse welfare but that horse loves the sport. He loves everything that he does. He's kept in the best condition and I'm just so delighted that he can run in a race like that and perform like that.
"He has got greatness and it's what he deserves. Corach Rambler, in our hearts, is just the best horse. Now in the public hearts he is as well."
