The horse racing association has launched an urgent investigation following a routine test which discovered that a three year old race horse due to compete in this year's Grand National contains only 80% horse meat.
Owner Sir Richard St-John Smithers has expressed his outrage that the George Foreman trained mount 'Mechanically Recovered Boy' is thought to contain traces of chicken, beef and possibly even parrot.
"This is an embarrassing and shocking development which I intend to get to the bottom of. If the beast had died during the race, who knows what product or ready-meal could have been contaminated by it's introduction to the food chain".
Sponsors Findus have declined to comment.
