McKelvey won the 2006 Summer National and came second in the 2007 Grand National. On 5 April 2008 during the 2008 Grand National he dislodged his rider at the twentieth fence, ran loose, jumping the next fence he stumbled on landing which made him fall under the barrier. As he got up, still under the barrier, he fractured his back and was euthanized on field.[1][2]
