Just days after being identified as one of the deadliest horse racing tracks in the United States, Churchill Downs introduced a number of safety measures that it says it will begin incorporating this year.
One day after the track reopened for limited training, another horse was euthanized after breaking both its front legs at Santa Anita Race Park. The young horse’s death set in motion a new wave of rules, including the banishment of whips and medications on race day, according to the Washington Post.
Santa Anita Park reopened its track for limited training only Monday, March 11, 2019, according to CNN. The track released a statement that the 1-mile track will be limited to joggers and gallopers at certain time intervals to accommodate recent renovations.
