Rachael Blackmore fell from her mount, Willy De Houelle, in a race at the Aintree festival, resulting in the horse's tragic death. Fortunately, Blackmore walked into the ambulance and received on-site medical attention before being transported to a hospital for evaluation. Racing manager Joe Chambers provided updates post-race, expressing gratitude that Blackmore was unharmed and reflecting on the ups and downs of horse racing, celebrating the subsequent successes of their stablemates despite the day's earlier loss.
"It's a shame about Constitution Hill, that's twice it has happened to them and we know all about fallers - we lost Willy De Houelle sadly, another great young horse, in the first race and thankfully Rachael (Blackmore) is OK," he said.
"It's an amazing game, we were on our backside an hour and a half ago and now here we are with two Grade One winners at Aintree and in the sunshine, it's absolutely magic to be honest with you."
