Horse racing at New York tracks like Belmont Park is facing similar scrutiny to Santa Anita after a report of a spate of deaths across the state.
In the shadows of the increased scrutiny facing Santa Anita, horses have been dying at an alarming rate at New York race tracks too, according to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
The death toll includes racing and training incidents as well as “non-racing” causes of death. Twenty-one of those deaths have occurred at Belmont Park, which has a tally of 436 deaths since 2009, making it the deadliest track for horses in New York over that time span, according to the report. The report from New York comes days after news of a pair of deaths at the San Diego-area Del Mar race track last week that occurred when two horses collided during early-morning training.
What’s changed is that people are paying attention now, thanks mostly to the spate of deaths at Santa Anita. "I think getting the number to zero is not realistic, but I think creating the safest environment possible is our goal, and that's pretty much the commitment and culture this organization is built around," O’Rourke said.
