The chief executive of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has vowed to carry out “painstaking analysis" to work out what caused the deaths of three horses at the Grand National meeting.
Sandy Thompson’s Hill Sixteen suffered a fatal fall at the first fence in the National yesterday – which was delayed by around 15 minutes after animal activists got on to the track.
It came after the deaths of Dark Raven earlier in the afternoon and Envoye Special on Thursday.
