The following horses were injured in U.S. races last week and were unable to walk off the track under their own power – i.e., they needed the “equine ambulance.” While fates remain unknown at this time, please know we will eventually get kill confirmations on many if not most via our FOIA reporting. Also, “bled” refers to pulmonary hemorrhage.
