BERKELEY, CA - SEPTEMBER 2: A general view of start of the 8th Race during Summer Races at Golden Gate Fields on Sunday September 2, 2018 in Berkeley, California. According to the official race chart, the horse, Danehill Song, was entered in race 6 on Thursday.
Danehill Song went ahead early in the race and maintained a decent pace, before losing the lead to another horse. This led to a chase into the stretch, causing Danehill Song to take a bad step. ALSO:Details on the horse's injury were not available, but the horse racing authority only listed the death as "musculoskeletal," meaning a bone injury.
Animal rights group Kill Racing Not Horses said in a statement Danehill Song's death is the 47th fatality in California's 2023 horse racing season, which began in December. "No legitimate sport would tolerate the deaths of 47 of its athletes in 32 weeks of competition in just 1 state," advocates said. By clicking Sign Up, I confirm
