Tragic Demise of Celebre D’Allen Following Grand National
Celebre D’Allen, a participant in the prestigious Grand National steeplechase, has tragically died after his health took a turn for the worse following his collapse during the Aintree race. Trainers Philip Hobbs and Johnson White had initially expressed optimism, sharing encouraging visuals of the horse on Sunday morning, just hours after the incident. However, his condition reportedly “significantly deteriorated” on Monday evening, leading to his untimely death, which the trainers have now confirmed with deep sadness.
The training duo announced the passing of the 13-year-old gelding today, conveying their profound grief. This announcement follows a sudden decline in Celebre D’Allen’s wellbeing after initial positive signs.
Initial Optimism After Race Incident
Hobbs and White released a video of Celebre D’Allen on Sunday morning, less than 24 hours after he collapsed in the Grand National at Aintree. Remaining at the racecourse overnight for ongoing veterinary assessment, Celebre D’Allen was observed to be alert and appeared to be grazing.
Sunday Update: Encouraging Signs
The social media caption accompanying the video stated: “Celebre D’Allen bright and breezy this morning @AintreeRaces after running so well in the Grand National.”
Later on Sunday, White elaborated, saying: “He has remained at Aintree, and I viewed videos of him this morning where he appeared considerably brighter and was grazing.”

“Veterinarians have examined him and indicated he will likely be moved to a nearby livery yard later today. This is positive development, suggesting he is progressing favorably. While I haven’t yet had detailed discussions with the veterinary team about the precise nature of the issue, it was likely a combination of factors, possibly including the heat. The key takeaway is that he seems to be on the mend, which is a great relief to us.”
Sudden Decline and Heartbreaking News
In a devastating update, the trainers confirmed Celebre D’Allen’s death today, revealing a “significant deterioration” in his condition throughout Monday night.
Hobbs and White stated: “We are heartbroken to share the news that Celebre D’Allen has passed away. He received the utmost care from the veterinary teams and was showing signs of improvement. However, his condition declined sharply last night, and despite best efforts, he could not be saved. He was an exceptional horse, and we will profoundly miss him.”
Jockey Sanctioned Following Incident
Jockey Micheal Nolan has been banned for ten days for continuing to ride Celebre D’Allen when it was determined the horse “had no more to give”. The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has confirmed that Celebre D’Allen’s death will be incorporated into their comprehensive annual review of the Grand National event.
Second Horse Fall During Grand National
Celebre D’Allen was one of two horses to fall during the Grand National. Broadway Boy, then leading the race, stumbled at the 25th fence and fell forwards. Both horses received immediate veterinary attention at the location of the incidents.
