Broadway Boy and Celebre D’Allen are being treated by on the racecourse at Aintree after both horses failed to make the finish during Saturday’s Grand National.
Nick Rockett, a 33-1 outsider, held off competition from pre-race favourite I Am Maximus to win the 2025 Grand National.
However, concern immediately turned to Broadway Boy and Celebre D’Allen, who were unable to make it to the end of the race.
Broadway Boy suffered a nasty fall at Valentine’s Brook, a 5ft high, 7ft wide fence.
Celebre D’Allen was pulled up before the last and jockey Micheal Nolan is under Stewards’ Inquiry for not pulling up the horse sooner.
The following race at 5pm – the Rosconn Group Maghull Novices’ Chase – has been delayed while the two horses were treated.
In a statement read out on ITV after the Grand National, presenter Ed Chamberlin said: ‘Jockey’s all absolutely okay.
‘Broadway Boy and Celebre D’Allen are being assessed on course by expert veterinary teams. Further updates will follow in due course.’
Providing a further update before the end of ITV’s broadcast, Chamberlin added: ‘Both horses are being treated at the minute. I don’t think we’ll be able to update more than that before we go off air.’
However, Tom Bellamy, the jockey of Broadway Boy, has been taken to hospital.
Meanwhile, Celebre D’Allen was able to walk into the horse ambulance after receiving treatment.
