Grand National runner Celebre d’Allen has died following Saturday’s race at Aintree.
The 13-year-old horse, the oldest of the 34 runners, was pulled up after the final fence and collapsed on the track.
Following treatment on the course, the gelding was walked into the horse ambulance and taken to the racecourse stables for further assessment.
But after initially showing signs of recovery, his condition “deteriorated significantly” and he died on Tuesday.
Jockey Micheal Nolan, Celebre d’Allen’s rider, was handed a 10-day suspension on Saturday after Aintree stewards ruled he had “continued in the race when the horse appeared to have no more to give and was clearly losing ground after the second-last fence”.
BBC Sport has been told Nolan will not face any further punishment from the British Horseracing Authority (BHA).
The BHA indicated that to blame the jockey for the horse’s death would be pure speculation and potentially reckless.
Celebre d’Allen was a 125-1 shot at the National, which was won by jockey Patrick Mullins on Nick Rockett.
On Tuesday, it was also announced that Mullins has been given an eight-day ban after his ride was referred to the Whip Review Committee.
The amateur jockey, 35, breached the whip rules during the race, using his whip eight times after the final fence when the limit in jump racing is seven.
He will be suspended for eight separate days including 23 and 25 April.
