The 13-year-old horse Celebre D'Allen, which competed in the Grand National, one of the most prestigious horse races in England, sadly passed away on Monday evening despite all interventions after racing last Saturday.
The horse, owned by Philip Hobbs and Johnson White Racing, collapsed after the last hurdle following difficulties in the final part of the race. Initial interventions after the race diagnosed heat stroke.
In a statement made by the horse owners on Tuesday morning, they expressed, "We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Celebre D'Allen. He received the best veterinary care and was showing signs of recovery. However, his condition suddenly worsened on Monday night, and unfortunately, he could not be saved."
The jockey Micheal Nolan, who rode Celebre D'Allen in the race, was penalized with a 10-day racing ban by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). Nolan's decision to continue racing despite noticing the horse was clearly struggling has become a topic of debate.
Brant Dunshea, the interim CEO of the BHA, stated regarding the matter, "Like all horses in the Grand National, Celebre D'Allen underwent comprehensive health checks before the race," and added, "A long and detailed process is implemented to ensure the fitness of all horses."
Celebre D'Allen was the oldest competitor in this year's Grand National at the age of 13. Experts indicate that racehorses typically participate in active races until the age of 10.
