The Belmont joins the Kentucky Derby and Preakness in having its signature race marred by animal deaths.
“NYRA prioritizes safety and integrity above all other considerations and continuously evaluates all aspects of the operation to provide the safest possible environment for training and racing,” the statement said. “NYRA will closely review the circumstances around this incident.”
The suburban New York Belmont Park appeared to end the somber streak when its signature race – the 12th of 13 on the schedule – was completed without incident. “Despite the immediate response and best efforts of on-site attending veterinarians,” the statement said, “the horse was humanely euthanized due to the severity of the injury.”
The federally-mandated Horseracing Safety and Integrity Authority took over last year, and its medication and anti-doping program went into effect last month.
