Two young racehorses died during the opening weekend of California’s Del Mar racetrack’s fall season. A 5-year-old gelding collapsed and died while walking to the barn after the race. Two days later, a 6-year-old gelding collapsed at the track and later died. Both incidents were reported as sudden deaths. Such loss of life is not unusual in horse racing. Far from harmless, the physical strain of racing takes its toll on the animals, with many suffering bleeding lungs, bone and muscle damage, and other (including drug-related) injuries which can lead to death.
