The Sport of Kings is under renewed scrutiny due to a long list of horse deaths at famed Southern California racetrack Santa Anita. But while 32 deaths at one track is horrifying, it is not uncommon in a sport where horses die every week while competing.
The New York Times reported that Emtech, a 3-year-old colt was euthanized on Saturday after breaking both of his legs during a race at Santa Anita. Emtech was the 32nd horse to die at the racetrack since December.
