Leading jockey Davy Russell has spoken of Gordon Elliott's heartbreak about the dead horse photo which shocked racing and the wider community.

Russell, who rode the trainer's former star chaser Envoi Allen to victory at last year's Cheltenham Festival, said the picture was "so extraordinarily out of character."
