Celebre d’Allen, who collapsed on the run-in at the Grand National at Aintree on Saturday, has died, Philip Hobbs and Johnson White, the 13-year-old’s co-trainers, said on Tuesday morning.
Celebre d’Allen, who in the stewards’ view “had no more to give” after the second last, was able to walk into a horse ambulance after being treated on the track for exhaustion. He had been moved to a nearby livery yard in the hope he would continue his recovery, but “took a downturn” on Monday night.
