A fourth horse has died after failing to recover from injuries sustained at the Grand National. Eclair Surf suffered a heavy fall at the third fence in Saturday’s race.
His trainer Emma Lavelle announced the news on Twitter on Sunday morning. “We are very sad to report that having sustained a traumatic head injury in yesterday's Grand National, Eclair Surf lost his fight this morning.
“He was looked after at the racecourse by a team of first-class vets before being transferred to Liverpool University who treated him all night, however very sadly it was not to be. He was an incredibly special horse, loved by everyone and he will be missed terribly.”
