Does anyone know's what happened to the horse: Mckelvey?

Question

the horse that fell. did he die straight away or did he get shot????

Answer 1

McKelvey was put down after colliding with a barrier.  

Gutted after finding this out, I won a bit of money today but would give it all back to see a good horse run again. Great shame.

Answer 2

i too won money on this race, and i vow it will be the last national i bet on. it is absolute carnage, too many horses and i walked away after the second.

Mckelvey was a character and i would triple my money to have him back, as i would have done if we had have lost three.

im sorry mckelvey for funding such a morbid event
