Animal Rising Ben Newman attacked ITV’s report in a press release, accusing broadcasters of “cowardly refusing to replay the 25th fence of the Broadway boy falling, while commentators masked the welfare standards of racing.”
After the coverage ended, ITV confirmed through its X account, and both the Broadway Boy and another fallen man, D’Allen, returned to Horseable for further evaluation.
Despite the many benefits leadership improvements in the course in recent years, the Broadway Boys is one of several fallen ones. He fell on the 25th fence and led the game.
Jockey Tom Bellamy also immediately attracted attention, and Tom Bellamy also initially failed to move after an awkward fall. However, after extensive attention on the scene, officials later confirmed that Bellamy was “taken to Arntery University Hospital for further evaluation” and that the Broadway boy “walked into the horse ambulance and would return to the horses for further evaluation”.

As a result, all 34 horses returned to horses. In the Broadway boy’s situation, he will know more after further testing and observation overnight.
Celebre d’Allen also needs immediate medical care before going back to the horse ambulance. In Aintree, safety measures that limit death and injury have never been greater, resulting in an overall decline in deaths. But radical animal rights movement groups caught the fall of the Broadway boys, expressing new frustration.
Two years ago, when animal rights protesters were given the opportunity to the course, the jumping of the bar was delayed by 15 minutes, resulting in more than 100 arrests. There were no delays on Saturday, and the horses set off at 4 p.m. – an earlier start time was introduced as part of the new safety measures. The race was won by Nick Rockett, ridden by jockey Patrick Mullins and trained by father Willie.
This year, a horse died throughout the festival, when Willy de Houelle, who was ridden by former national champion Rachel Blackmore, fell in the second race on Thursday.
