Churchill Downs has experienced a tragic month with 12 horses suffering fatal injuries on the racetrack. The two most recent fatalities occurred on Saturday and Friday, with both horses euthanized due to “inoperable and unrecoverable” injuries. The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission is currently investigating the deaths and has implemented a number of safety measures, including the use of a synthetic track surface, to reduce the risk of injury. Churchill Downs has expressed their sorrow for the loss of the animals and their commitment to ensuring the safety of the horses and the sport.
