Just days before the prestigious Kentucky Derby event, tragedy has struck.
In a span of just 5 days, four horses have died at Churchill Downs in preparation for the Kentucky Derby.
Parents Pride, Chasing Artie, Wild On Ice, and Take Charge Briana all passed due to complications after either training or racing.
In a statement from Churchill Downs, they called the series of events as “highly unusual” and “unacceptable”.
Churchill Downs also plans on conducting investigations into the deaths of the four horses.
