Grand National jockey taken to hospital after fall as two horses being assessed | Racing | Sport

Grand National jockey Robbie Dunne, who was riding Stellar Story, has been taken to hospital after suffering a nasty fall. Dunne is conscious and talking and is being taken to hospital for further assessment, ITV said.

Top Of The Bill is also up and walking after causing a scare following the race, which was won by I Am Maximus. The horse was assessed on course by the expert veterinary team and there were fears for his life. But he recovered and will return to the stables.

Quai De Bourbon also walked on to a horse ambulance and was taken back to the stables for further assessment. Mr Vango is also being assessed.

Patrick Mullins, who won the Grand National last year with Nick Rockett, is also in with the physio after being unseated at the first fence by Grangeclare West.

The news comes just hours after Get On George was humanely put down after pulling up. Gold Dancer was the other fatality of the Aintree Festival on Friday.
