The third horse in three days -- the fourth this month -- was put to death at Santa Anita Park in California Sunday, according to a state horse racing board spokesman.
The 3-year-old horse, named Tikkun Olam,"was involved in a head-on collision with another horse while training Sunday morning" and"suffered catastrophic injuries, necessitating euthanasia," California Horse Racing Board spokesman Mike Marten told CNN in an email.On Friday, a 6-year-old horse named Harliss was euthanized after fracturing its right front ankle, and on Saturday 5-year-old Uncontainable was put to death for the same reason.
It’s not even the deadliest track in America...why sensationalize this track and not the others? Yellow journalism
For Christ’s sake close this track already. Why aren’t we hearing from the pro horse industry racing folks who say horses are treated like kings? They’re dropping dead monthly if not weekly at this God forsaken track. SantaClara HorseRacing .HuffPost .nytimes .
Time to SHUT IT DOWN!
Maybe it's time to put down Santa Anita. It is the right thing to do.

how did two horses manage to have a head on collision? I find that really out there
Shut it down.
Search the story of KY Derby Winner Barbaro, shattered leg in Preakness and owners tried to save him. This poor horse suffered for 8 months had several surgeries and infections, it was the most inhumane treatment ever. Please understand why large animals are euthanized!
How the PHUK is this place STILL OPEN?!?!?! Isn’t that 50+ in the past year?
I wonder what it's like at other race tracks. Who has oversight authority? Racing commission?
