Second horse dies at Aintree meeting

Little Josh became the second horse to die at the 2013 Aintree Grand National meeting after falling on Friday. The 11-year-old, ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies and trained by his father Nigel, fell four fences from home in the Topham Chase, which was run over the redesigned Grand National fences. He suffered a fractured shoulder and was later put down by veterinary surgeons following treatment. It followed the death of Battlefront who collapsed on Thursday.
