Grand National jockey under investigation after his horse put in ambulance
Grand National jockey Michael Nolan faces an investigation into his ride on Celebre D’Allen. The Allan Stennett-owned horse was pulled up by Nolan towards the end of Saturday’s gruelling race and subsequently needed veterinary attention on the course at Aintree.
Celebre D’Allen was a 100/1 shot before the off, and he was still in the mix alongside Beauport and Grangeclare West with only three fences left to jump. Other horses eventually clame through as Nick Rockett held off the challenge of I Am Maximus to claim the victory for trainer Willie Mullins whose son, Patrick, was in the saddle.
