"As the California Horse Racing Board, with the full cooperation of the racing industry, continues to reduce the number of equine fatalities each year — reduced by more than 50 percent in the last few years — there are fewer musculo-skeletal fatalities associated with racing and training," Marten's statement said. "Therefore, as a percentage of overall fatalities, sudden deaths have become a larger percentage, as the raw number has remained constant.
