Grand National runner Celebre d’Allen has died after collapsing at the final fence at Aintree on Saturday.
The 13-year-old horse was treated on the course before being taken to the racehorse stables for further assessment.
After initially showing signs of recovery, he died after his condition “deteriorated significantly”.
Micheal Nolan, Celebre d’Allen’s rider, was handed a 10-day suspension on Saturday after Aintree stewards ruled he had continued when his mount had no more to give and was losing ground.
The British Horseracing Authority who passed the suspension on Nolan, said Celebre d’Allen passed the necessary checks to race at Aintree.
The BHA said it will analyse the “race and incident in detail”, as well as sending the horse for a post-mortem.
Celebre d’Allen was a 125-shot at the National, which was won by jockey Patrick Mullins on Nick Rockett.
