  "textContent": "\n\n\nJockey Robbie Dunne was rushed to hospital following a heavy fall during this afternoon's Grand National at Aintree, though officials confirmed he remained conscious and able to communicate as he was transported by ambulance.\n\nDunne came down while riding Stellar Story in what ITV Racing described as a nasty incident during the showpiece event.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe race itself was claimed by the pre-race favourite I Am Maximus, though celebrations were tempered by concerns for those injured on the famous Aintree fences.\n\nSeveral horses required veterinary attention following falls during the race, prompting anxious moments for spectators.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTop Of The Bill, ridden by Toby McCain-Mitchell, grandson of legendary trainer Ginger McCain, initially sparked serious concern when assessed on the course by the expert veterinary team. The horse subsequently recovered and walked back to the stables.\n\nQuai De Bourbon fell early in the race and appeared unwell before being transported via horse ambulance for examination at the stables.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMr Vango is also currently undergoing assessment by veterinary staff.\n\nPatrick Mullins, victorious in last year's Grand National aboard Nick Rockett, was also receiving physiotherapy treatment after Grangeclare West unseated him at the opening fence.\n\nThe incidents cast a shadow over the final day of the Aintree Festival, which had already witnessed tragedy in preceding days.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nGet On George was humanely destroyed earlier on Saturday after pulling up, while Gold Dancer became a fatality during Friday's racing.\n\nThe festival's famous fences claimed multiple fallers throughout today's feature race.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nPlease write at least 4 paragraphs\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
