Two horses die at Grand National 2022

Millions tuned in once again for this year's Grand National - the 174th running of the world's most famous horse race. This year saw 50-1 shot Noble Yeats take the title, beating favourite Any Second Now into second place.

40 horses took to the start line and tackled the 30 fences. No horses in the main event on Saturday have so far been reported to have been fatally injured however, the Grand National festival - which runs over a number of days at Aintree - has involved the tragic loss of two horses.

Two horses have died so far at this year's festival, WalesOnline reports. There were distressing scenes on Saturday when, hours before the main event, Elle Est Belle suffered a suspected heart attack as she finished fourth in the novices hurdle.

Solwara One, ridden by jockey Sam Twiston-Davies, had become the first fatality of this year's race week following the 1.45pm race on Friday. The RSCPA has condemned the deaths, saying that "the death of any horse is always one too many", while animal rights activists and campaign groups have long called for stricter safety measures to be introduced within horse racing.
