They smashed into the woman.<br /><br />"It was quite shocking and I was quite shaken myself and stopped filming and went to help.<br /><br />“The policeman came over and gave her first aid. She was in pain. She couldn’t stand on her foot.<br /><br />“I heard them radio for an ambulance. I left the scene 10 minutes later and heard the sirens coming. It was unreal.<br /><br />“I’d be surprised if her leg wasn’t broken. Hopefully it’s not.”<br /><br />Mugdim said he didn’t see what happened to the horses afterwards as everyone was focused on coming to the woman's aid.<br /><br />He said: “I felt sorry for the woman. And the horses looked so scared."<br /><br />The Jockey Club said Recite a Prayer was injured during the race in a statement confirming the death of Hill Sixteen.<br /><br />A statement from The Jockey Club said: "Sadly, while racing in the Grand National, Hill Sixteen sustained an unrecoverable injury.
