For the second day in a row, and the 12th time since April 27, a horse is dead at Churchill Downs in Louisville. From April 27 to the Kentucky Derby May 6, seven horses died from either injuries or collapsing on the track. In his return, one of his horses died during the Preakness Stakes undercard. More than 30 horses died in 2019 at the Santa Anita racetrack in California. Churchill Downs said it is “focused on our responsibility to provide the safest racing environment possible on our property” in recent weeks.
