Four horses died from injuries sustained during races at the Aintree Steeplechase Meet, held in Liverpool, England, April 7-9.

Clonbanan Lad, a 10-year-old Thoroughbred gelding owned by Robert Clifton-Brown and ridden by Jody Sole, and Marasonnien, a 10-year-old gelding owned by S. Ricci and ridden by Patrick Mullins, were both pulled up by their jockeys during the Crabbie’s Fox Hunter Steeplechase on April 7. Chris Proudman, the veterinary adviser to Aintree, reported that both horses later collapsed and died as a consequence of their injuries.
