Bob Baffert wins the Hollywood Gold Cup for a record ninth time with Defunded, but a spike in horse racing deaths remains a problem for the sport.
. Horses died racing at Churchill Downs on Friday and Saturday, raising the death count to 12 in a month. It surpassed any 30-day period during the fatality crisis at Santa Anita in 2019 that led to the track shutting down for a little more than three weeks to try and determine the cause.
There was one fatality on the Preakness undercard when Havnameltdown broke down during a stakes race. It was a horse trained by Baffert. It muted the joy when the Baffert-trained National Treasure won the Preakness.In the past five years, Baffert has had a fatality rate lower than most California big-stable trainers.
But as Kentucky shied away from being associated with California in 2019, the attention in California this weekend was all about the racing with no mention of what was happening back east.Hours after having to euthanize a horse following an on-track injury, trainer Bob Baffert earned his record eighth Preakness win with National Treasure.
