Devastating footage shows the moment that a horse that died after participating in the Grand National failed to make a jump. Hill Sixteen died after racing in the Grand National showpiece race and was the third horse to die at this year's festival.
Hill Sixteen fell at the first fence on Saturday evening and suffered what has been described as an "unrecoverable" injury, and was put down. The 80/1 runner was being ridden by Ryan Mania and was trained by Sandy Thomson.
A Jockey Club spokesperson said: "Sadly, while racing in the Grand National, Hill Sixteen sustained an unrecoverable injury. Our sincere sympathies are with connections. Recite A Prayer and Cape Gentleman were assessed on course by our skilled veterinary staff and walked onto the horse ambulance for further assessment in the stables."
