Lilbitluso, a 10-year-old gelding, was euthanised after falling at the Canal Turn fence on day one of the festival. Lilbitluso is the 44th horse to have passed away on race courses across the country this year. The Grand National course is often seen as one of the biggest killers because of its demanding terrain.
