The Grand National runner Celebre d’Allen, who collapsed during the race on Saturday and died on Monday, died as a result of a bacterial infection which developed after the festival, a post-mortem has concluded.
The post-mortem results, which were revealed by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) on Thursday, indicated that the over-exertion which led to the horse collapsing after the final fence did not specifically contribute to his death.
