How many horses died at Grand National 2022?

Millions tuned in once again for this year's Grand National - the 174th running of the world's most famous horse race. This year saw 50-1 shot Noble Yeats take the title, beating favourite Any Second Now into second place.

40 horses took to the start line and tackled the 30 fences. Two horses who ran in the Grand National - the main event of the Aintree festival on Saturday evening - have now been confirmed to have died.

Discorama died after being pulled up with an injury before the 13th fence. And it was confirmed on Sunday morning that Eclair Surf, one of the early favourites, died after suffering a heavy fall at the third fence.
