The death of the Grand National Horse Celebre of Allen only two days after having collapsed in Aintree ‘without letting anything to give’ triggered an outcry by a group for the defense of animal rights.
Animal aid struck the “absolutely odious” situation which led to the death of Celebre d’Allen at the age of 13, the marking “criminal”.
The gelding started well in the master breed but was weakened in the late stadiums, seeming to be in difficulty after the penultimate fence. However, Jockey Micheal Nolan continued to ride and only stopped after the final closure.
A few moments later, the 125/1 spirit collapsed on the lawn and needed immediate veterinary attention. He was then able to enter a horse ambulance and was taken for a more in -depth assessment.
Nolan was slapped with a 10 -day ban, the British Horseracing Authority confirming that he confirmed that he had broken the rules of conduct by continuing on a horse that was clear.
“It is absolutely obnoxious that after the race until he has more to give ” in the Grand National, Celebre d’Allen has died,” wrote the director of Animal Aid, Iain Green in a press release.

Jockey Micheal Nolan, illustrated in Taunton last month, has been suspended for 10 days
“The jockey leading him to the point of collapsing received a pitiful suspension of 10 days.
“Allowing a horse of this age to run in the most punishing and notoriously dangerous breed recorded is nothing less than the criminal, and the responsibility for this is the responsibility of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA).
“The horse running for their lives is not sport, it is obvious and disturbing the abuse of animals.”
“We have a broken heart to share that Cellebre d’Allen has died. He received the best treatment of veterinary teams and improved, “said Philip Hobbs and Johnson White Racing in a statement on Tuesday morning.
“However, he deteriorated significantly last night and could not be saved. It was a wonderful horse and we will all miss a lot.
The gelding was then able to enter a horse ambulance and was taken for a more in -depth assessment.
The sun and Matt Chapman of ITV revealed on Saturday evening that Celebre d’Allen had undergone a heat stroke and would remain in Aintree during the night to monitor.
And on Sunday, there was a brilliant perspective on Allen’s Celebre state with the gelding in search of a fine bettle on social networks.
Take to X, Hobbs and White’s Joint-Mompou shared a video of the horse with the legend: ‘Celebre d’Allen Bright and Breezy this morning @antreees after having worked so well in the Grand National. “”
Celebre d’Allen was the oldest horse on the ground at 13, and the manipulation of him as Nolan later saw a 10 -day ban from the stewards of the racetrack.
Their complete statement on the incident read: “An investigation was held to determine if Micheal Nolan, the Celebre rider of Allen (FR), had continued in the race when the horse no longer seemed to have to give and clearly lost ground after the second closure.
“The rider and the veterinary agent were interviewed and recordings of the incident were consulted. The rider was suspended for 10 days.
In a statement following the death of Celebre d’Allen, the acting managing director of the BHA, Brant Dunshea, wrote: “ “ “ “ `’
Allen Celebre looked brighter on Sunday after receiving veterinary attention
The 13 -year -old gamper (photo in 2023) started well at the National National, but had clearly fought towards the end, but Jockey Nolan did not stop until the final obstacle
“It has been clear to see since Saturday afternoon how the horse meant for its relations and we send them our condolences today.
“As with all the runners of the Grand National, Celebre d’Allen has received a check in -depth by veterinarians at the racetrack. This health assessment includes a trotting, a physical examination of the limbs to check any heat, pain or swelling, and listen to the heart to check any disturbance of the murmur or the rhythm.
“This marks the last step in a vast process of verification to ensure the relevance of horses to run in the National, which also includes an examination of veterinary files and evaluation by a panel of experts to consider the race record of a horse and the relevance to the race. As part of this process, the horse would also have been examined by the trainer’s own veterinarian twice, one month apart.
“Allen Celebre received a treatment from the team of expert veterinarians after stopping and then collapsing towards the end of the race.
“ After being immediately followed by the teams on the spot, it was given all the time which he needed to respond to the treatments on the plan before being transported in the first -class veterinary facilities in the stables of the racetrack, where he remained overnight, continuing to receive care and attention.
“He then went to a nearby stud which was linked to the owners of the horse on Sunday, after showing an improvement of the night.
“The Bha and Aintree hippodrome will analyze the race and this incident in detail, as is the case each year and with each fatal injury of any race. This will include the horse sent for the autopsy.
“The process of revising each death allows us to rely on our existing data and to help us understand how all the reasonable avoidable risks can be reduced in order to keep our horses and riders as safe as possible.
“This process had previously led to the changes to the Grand National in 2024, including the reduction in the number of runners. Before the race on Saturday, there had been no deadly injuries during the nine previous races on the big national course since the National 2023.
Another horse, Broadway Boy, also underwent a painful fall, leaving the worried fans after the cameras immediately cut off from the fall.
He had jumped well before and was ahead of the field, but while Broadway Boy gave off, the horse seemed to fall on a standing on his legs before his head seems to crash in the ground.
Tom Bellamy, who was the jockey of Broadway Boy, was not killed and taken later to the hospital, where he was revealed with the fans who were upset by what they had seen.
However, just over an hour after the race, an update was provided on Broadway Boy after being treated on the right track by veterinarians.
It was revealed that the horse had then entered a horse ambulance before returning to the stables for a more in -depth assessment.
