And it's not 'tragic', like it's just some terrible unforeseeable accident. It's a known problem that horses will die at #Aintree. A 'racing certainty', even. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/breaking-grand-national-death-giovinco-32573705

Your annual reminder, if you're in the UK, not to watch the Grand National horse race, not to bet on it, not to take part in an office sweepstake as "a bit of fun". It's cruel. 4 horses died during the Aintree meet last year, and 4 the year before.
