Broadway Boy, the horse who suffered a horrific fall during the Grand National, is returning home after receiving medical treatment from veterinary experts. He ran prominently for much of the race but tumbled to the ground while navigating the 25th fence. The gelding received immediate care on the track before walking into a horse ambulance for further treatment.

Last night, it was reported that vets were 'happy' with Broadway Boy's condition and connections were 'very hopeful' that he would be okay. Now, his assistant trainer Willy Twiston-Davies has offered another positive update via X (formerly Twitter).

"Thank you for all the lovely messages, more importantly thanks to all the vets at Aintree Races," wrote Twiston-Davies.

"Broadway Boy is getting loaded onto the horse ambulance and coming home. Such a special horse to all of us at Grangehill Farm. Big thanks to Laura who has stayed with him all night."

Tom Bellamy, who rode Broadway Boy, was taken to the Aintree University Hospital after the incident and it later transpired that he had broken his wrist. All 33 other jockeys returned to the weighing room after the Grand National had finished.

Another horse, Celebre D’Allen, collapsed on the course after he was pulled up towards the end of the race. He also walked into a horse ambulance before heading back to his stables for more treatment.

His jockey, Micheal Nolan, was later handed a 10-day ban following an investigation from the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). 

In a statement, the body said: "An enquiry was held to consider whether Micheal Nolan, the rider of Celebre D'Allen, 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.

"The rider and the Veterinary Officer were interviewed, and recordings of the incident were viewed. The rider was suspended for 10 days."

The BHA addressed the condition of both horses in another statement, saying they 'received immediate and extensive treatment by the vets, also calling on the first-class facilities and various teams on site'.

Nick Rockett emerged victorious for trainer Willie Mullins, who also had runner-up I Am Maximus and third-placed finisher Grangeclare West. However, the afternoon was overshadowed by the worrying scenes involving Broadway Boy and Celebre D'Allen.
