Killed, 2020

The following horses died at U.S. racetracks in 2020. Please note, however, that there are piles of data (dead horses, that is) not available to us: horses injured racing or training and euthanized off-site (i.e., not reportable); the too-badly-damaged euthanized after being taken in by rescues; the dead who simply fall through the cracks of apathetic or slipshod reporting to and from racing commissions.

What’s more, not every state gives us all the data we request. Louisiana, for example, only forwards racing deaths, arguing that training and stall deaths are beyond their purview. And most significant, we have zero access to the horses killed at the over 200 private training facilities strewn across the land. In short, we estimate that over 2,000 racehorses perish in America every year. Over 2,000. For $2 bets.
