A horse has died after suffering a racing injury at Los Alamitos Race Course, state regulators confirmed Sunday -- one month after officials said the Cypress track had taken a series of steps aimed at improving safety following a spate of four horse deaths in an 11-day span.
Before Saturday, the most recent death at the track occurred March 23, when an un-raced colt named See You At Front suffered a leg injury while galloping during training.
The track is also consulting with a racing surface expert to determine if the track surface is a contributing factor to recent injuries, and it has contacted UC Davis to "fund a study of lumbar fractures in quarter- horses," CHRB officials said. Wednesday's death of See You At Front and the March 20 death of Stolen Lives after a race were both the result of euthanasia due to lower leg injuries, according to the CHRB.
