Another horse dies at Santa Anita Park, the 25th since December


(CNN) One day after suffering a rare pelvis injury during a race, a 3-year-old thoroughbred named Spectacular Music was euthanized, becoming the 25th death this season at Santa Anita Park in California. According to a press release Monday for Santa Anita Park, Spectacular Music was given a "comprehensive evaluation" after Sunday's race before the decision was made to put him down. After six weeks of fatality-free training and racing, Monday's death comes just days after another 3-year-old horse, Commander Coil, suffered a fatal accident while training at the Los Angeles County track. The park implemented stringent protocols back in mid-March after the deaths of 22 horses and suspended racing and training for a time. Two days after racing resumed in late March, a 23rd horse died.
