    Celebre D’Allen died on the Tuesday after the national, going by the way it’s currently done the race had nothing to do with his death! We all know this isn’t true

    From the link CAS posted:

    Since 2021 we classed a raceday fatality as “any horse fatally injured or euthanised on welfare grounds as a direct result of their injuries on raceday or within 48 hours of raceday”

    The amount of horses that die after picking up injuries in races but is not counted because of the 48 hr rule would massively increase the statistics in a bad way which is why they have this 48 hr rule in the first place.

    If the injury happens in a race why should it not be counted for weeks/months after ?

    Can definitely see an age limit being introduced going forward. But the nationals days are numbered whatever they do about it.

    He was at the Beaufort team chase on the same day so assuming it was a fatal injury/fall while participating

    Monty Bodkin was down for a while but got up and walked into the stables.

    Badly winded by the sounds of it

    Hashtag Boum definitely looked fatal, hit the floor and didn’t move. Standard silence though

    The trainer gets his training fees no matter how slow they are. It’s in his interests to keep them racing.

    He definitely didn’t look right when he got up.

    Also read on twitter that statements from the trainer had been made saying he was ok and at home while it was well known he had already been euthanised. All very odd

    I thought it was an extremely rare occurrence that you would get 2 fatalities in 1 race?

    That’s what we’ve been told by ITV and the BHA anyway :unsure:

    Was it on the road crossing or just before that? The replay has been edited so not sure.

    We got through 5 days of racing at Ascot with a large amount of runners everyday without a single fatality. 4 in 1 day at the same meeting is disgraceful

    Summer jumping not for me

    It looked like it happened going over the road crossing, I’ve seen plenty of breakdowns on them crossings at lots of different tracks. Maybe something the BHA need to look into ?
