At least four horses were killed at The Grand National three-day
meet in England – three yesterday alone. Their names, and the vile
utterances of their exploiters:
Solwara One, Friday. Trainer Neil Mulholland: “Unfortunately we lost
Solwara One today due to an injury, very sad.”
Elle Est Belle, Saturday. Track spokesperson: “Very sadly Elle Est
Belle sustained a fatal injury [‘suspected heart attack’] close to
the finish line…. All our thoughts are with [her] connections.”
Discorama, Saturday. Trainer Paul Nolan: “We are heartbroken to have
lost Discorama…. Our condolences to his owners Andrew Gemmell and
Tom Friel.” Chris Proudman, vet advisor: “[It was] necessary to put
him to sleep on welfare grounds. Our thoughts are with his
connections.”
Eclair Surf, Saturday. Trainer Emma Lavelle: “We are very sad to
report that having sustained a traumatic head injury in yesterday’s
Grand National, Eclair Surf lost his fight this morning. He was an
incredibly special horse, loved by everyone and he will be missed
terribly.”
