Two apprentice jockeys died today and two other injured after a fire broke out at a block of flats in Britain.
A local man in his 30s was arrested by police investigating an arson attack at the three-storey block in Norton, near Malton, north Yorkshire.
The two people who died have yet to be named, but police said two others were treated in hospital for their injuries.
One man has been discharged and the other remains in York District Hospital, although his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Kempton and Thirsk staged a period of silence in remembrance, while jockeys at the two meetings, and at Stratford, wore black armbands. Wolverhampton also staged a one-minute silence before their evening fixture and riders at the track also wore black armbands.
