A jockey was injured and a horse died during a race at Keeneland racetrack. According to an incident report, 3-year-old horse Triggerman suffered a “catastrophic injury” to the left front limb. The jockey, Adam Beschizza, suffered a clavicle injury following the horse’s injury. This incident marks the third horse death at the track during Keeneland’s 2019 Fall Meet.

PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo released *this* statement regarding the incident:

“Two dead horses at Keeneland in only a week show that it’s not just a California issue but an industry-wide disgrace, and it’s not just an ‘accident’ but possibly a crime. When a 3-year-old horse dies in what is only his second race, something must be very wrong with the training and treatment of Thoroughbreds before they ever get to the track. Law enforcement should investigate, all medication and training records should be made public, and all racing in the U.S. should shut down until the industry can stop the carnage.”
