Up For Review dies during Grand National run

Up For Review has died during the 2019 Randox Health Grand National. It is the first death in seven years of the race.

Following a fall at the first fence, Up For Review was immediately attended by veterinary professionals. Sadly, he had sustained a fatal injury.

Dickon White added: “As a sport of animal lovers, we wanted every horse to come home and sadly that’s not been the case with Up For Review.

“All of us at Aintree extend our sympathies to Andrea and Graham Wylie and the team behind the horse. You have to go back to 2012 since we lost a horse in the Grand National, thanks in part to the huge amount of effort and investment we put into horse welfare. However, while you cannot remove all risk from our sport, we will analyse what happened and leave no stone in doing so.”
