Gold Dancer had to be put down after suffering a broken back when winning the Mildmay Novices' Chase on day two of the Grand National Meeting at Aintree.
The horse dragged his back legs through the final fence when leading Regent's Stroll and was ridden out to win by four lengths under Paul Townend for trainer Willie Mullins.
Gold Dancer was immediately pulled up after crossing the finish line, with Townend dismounting and screens erected for veterinary experts to assess and treat the horse but the seven-year-old was put down.
