A horse tragically died of a suspected heart attack on Aintree’s Grand National Day.
At 2.25 pm, Elle Est Belle was the winner.
The six-year-old made his way to the back of the court before moving forward.
She finished third after jumping the last fence, but slowed down the last flat.
Then, just before the race was over, Harry Skelton suddenly pulled her over. Three Stripe Live, the runner-up, won 5-2.
Elle Est Belle, a four-time winner, soon collapsed.
The mare owned by Dan Skelton is dead, according to Aintree.
“Unfortunately, Elle Est Belle suffered a fatal injury near the finish line at the Betway Mersey Novices’ Hurdle,” a racecourse spokesperson said.
“The Elle Est Belle connections are on our minds at the moment.”
Elle Est Belle competed in eight races before making her debut in October 2020 at Aintree.
Last year, she finished second at Cheltenham and third at the Grand National, winning a total of £61,271.
After crossing the line at 1:45 p.m. in Aintree on Friday, one person was seriously killed from his injury.
After the Grаnd Nаtional, which was won by Amator Sam Wally Cohen at 50-1 Noble Yates in his final run as a jockey, there were no things left, and all 40 horses were returned to the barges.
The knight, a friend of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, paid a sentimental tribute to his late brother Thomas, who died of a bone ulcer in 2004 at the age of twenty.
