Police Scotland said an increased police presence remained at the scene on Saturday afternoon. It came one week after similar protests at the English Grand National at Aintree.
Several animal rights protesters were arrested after an attempt to disrupt the Scottish Grand National on Saturday.
Animal Rising claimed 25 supporters had made it onto the track and posted a video on their Twitter feed showing at least four activists breaking through the fence around the racecourse at Ayr, with some making it onto the track. None of them successfully attached themselves to jumps and gates and they were not able to cancel or delay the big race, which was won by pre-race favourite Kitty's Light.
A statement by the group said:"This afternoon eight-year-old Oscar Elite died on the very same track [as the Scottish Grand National]. We take action today with them in our hearts. A horse dies every other day in racing in the UK. "We are here to protect horses by saying NO to this barbaric 'sport.' There are plenty of other things we can have fun doing on a Saturday afternoon that don't involve watching animals come to harm."
