Kentucky Derby
A horse has died after a race at Churchill Downs, making it the eighth fatality in recent weeks at the home of the Kentucky Derby.
A string of horse deaths have cast a gloomy cloud over the famed race this year.
The colt had stumbled on the track during a workout Thursday, although trainer Todd Pletcher had downplayed it.
The racetrack called the deaths “highly unusual” and “completely unacceptable.”
