The chief operating officer of the group that owns Santa Anita Park said the racetrack will keep monitoring the safety conditions after another death of a horse in training.
A 3-year-old horse broke down with a shoulder injury Friday while galloping and was euthanized at the track in Arcadia, California. It's the 24th horse fatality in racing or training there since Dec. 26. It's the first since March 31.
A filly also collapsed and died at Stronach Group-owned Pimlico Race Course on Friday, the day before the Preakness. Word of the death at Santa Anita reached the racing circles of Pimlico. "We're on top of it," Ritvo said."It's critical to us. We understand the position that we're in and the industry's in, so we take everything very serious. It's very serious."
