Hill Sixteen was destroyed after falling at the first fence during the main Grand National race, following the deaths of Dark Raven and Envoye Special earlier on Saturday and on Thursday respectively. BHA chief executive Julie Harrington said:"Our thoughts are with everyone connected to the horses who suffered fatal injuries this week.
"No one will be more affected by this news than the trainers, owners and stable staff who have provided these horses with first-class care and attention throughout their lives. "The BHA and Aintree racecourse will now analyse the races in painstaking detail, as is the case every year, to build on our existing data and help us understand what caused these incidents."
