    Fell in the second race at Aintree today and was fatality injured. So sad, he was only 4 years old.

    RIP Willy 😢

    Sad news, hope he didn’t have to suffer too much.
    A pretty bad start to the meeting, at least not the one we wished for.

    May he rest in peace

    Condolences to his connections.

    Of course, the press have already latched onto it, with this headline and first sentence in the “Daily Express”:

    “Grand National horse Willy De Houelle dies as Rachael Blackmore suffers nasty fall

    A Grand National horse has died.”

    Never let the facts get in the way of the number of clicks.

    It was a brute of a fall. Such a pity , poor chap, and he never got to show what he could do.
