"Rising Horse Deaths at Churchill Downs Spark Emergency Summit and Investigation"
The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) will hold an emergency summit with Churchill Downs, Kentucky's racing commission and HISA veterinary teams to review information and analysis in the wake of 12 horse fatalities in the past month at the home of the Kentucky Derby. The review will begin Wednesday, and HISA will send track superintendent Dennis Moore for a second independent analysis of the training and surfaces.
