The numbers suggest that horse racing is the safest it has been for the animals since at least 2009. Yet every death draws fresh criticism that the sport is far too cruel to continue.
In this photo provided by Josef Lejzerowicz, trainer Joe Lejzerowicz rubs noses with colt Freezing Point, aka âSnowball,â at their barn at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky., March 19, 2023. Freezing Point was euthanized after sustaining a leg injury during a race on the undercard of the Kentucky Derby, May 6, 2023. He was one of two horses to die from injury that day and among 12 over the past month at the home of the Derby.
That grief has been felt in particular with a recent spate of horse deaths at the home of the Kentucky Derby. Wild On Ice was the first of seven thoroughbreds to die at the track leading up to the marquee race on May 6, including two on the Derby undercard. More horses have been euthanized since then, include two last week to bring the shocking total to 12 at Churchill Downs over the past month.
“There were so many people saying how much that horse loved me, and I loved him," he said. "It’s very hard getting past. ... I mean, it’s kind of like losing a child.”
