The California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) reported the death of a three-year-old horse named Coulair at Santa Anita, with further details pending. Notably, Coulair had completed a timed workout at the same track just four days prior to his death.

In a separate incident at Belmont, the New York State Gaming Commission reported that a two-year-old horse named Shadow experienced an idiopathic seizure during training. After becoming loose on the track, Shadow knocked down a NYRA peace officer before falling and being taken to the barn for evaluation.

These incidents highlight the inherent risks and challenges in the world of horse racing, where both training and competition can lead to unforeseen and tragic outcomes.
