WE'LL STAND BY HIM

Trainers back jockey after Celebre D'Allen tragedy

- By Melissa Jones

THE trainers responsible for a horse who died several days after running in the Grand National have vowed to “stick together” and stand by its jockey.

Philip Hobbs and Johnson White will continue to support Micheal Nolan after the loss of 13-year-old chaser Celebre D’Allen.

It comes as a post-mortem instructed by the BHA found the thoroughbred’s death was not directly caused by his post-race collapse at Aintree on Saturday.
