A third racehorse has died during the Grand National meeting, as a total of 118 people have been arrested at Aintree after running on to the racetrack.
Following a fatal fall at the first fence, racehorse Hill Sixteen died after the race had finished, according to Sky Sports News. According to the animal rights group, this is what the protest was trying to stop. The police added that they"respect the right to peaceful protest and expression of views, but criminal behaviour and disorder will not be tolerated and will be dealt with robustly".Student Sarah McCaffrey, who was one of those disrupting the track said:"I know everyone coming to Aintree to view the races today would say they love the horses; however, the suffering experienced by them should shock us all.
A number of individuals also sat on the M57 motorway, which runs from the M62 to Aintree. Police stopped traffic in both directions causing delays for more than an hour.When the race got under way it was Corach Rambler, ridden by Derek Fox and trained by Lucinda Russell that stormed to victory to win the race, which lasted around 10 minutes."Today marks not the end, but the beginning, of the summer of Animal Rising," spokesperson Orla Coghlan said.
