Horse 'Episode Five' died over the weekend after becoming injured, marking the third horse death thus far at the Del Mar Racetrack's 2023 summer season.
A pony also died on Aug. 4 at the Del Mar Racetrack, unrelated to racing. Sixteen-year-old pony Dallas became ill and died overnight in his stall, presumably from colic, according to Marten.
Since training started at Del Mar on July 14, there have been over 40,000 individual training or racing events from the about 2,000 horses stabled there, Mac McBride of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club told NBC 7."Unfortunately, three horses have suffered injuries during racing or training that have resulted in their respective owners and attending veterinary teams to make the difficult decision to euthanize them," the statement read.
"We will continue to monitor our racing surfaces and protocols and scrutinize every runner in an effort to continue to create the safest environment possible for racing and training. Additionally, we will proceed with our collaborations with the nation’s foremost experts in track safety along with our interactions with authorities in the fields of horse and rider safety," the statement read.
