Southern California's Santa Anita racetrack loses two horses in three days, marking 25 fatalities in six months.
A pair of 3-year-old geldings sustained fatal injuries in separate incidents on Friday and Sunday as the embattled racetrack works and employ reforms to stem a rash of unprecedented horse deaths.
"Equine pelvic injuries are rare," it added,"and further evaluation is being conducted by the California Horse Racing Board, per protocol, to understand what could have caused this uncommon injury." Santa Anita Park, owned by the Canadian-based Stronach Group, postponed several races earlier this year and hired respected trackman Dennis Moore to help assess the condition on its main track.
At least 25 horses have died while racing or training since the track opened for the winter season on Dec. 26. The horse deaths prompted several investigations earlier this year, including a task force convened by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and the California Horse Racing Board.
