Notes: Horses that are so seriously injured that they require an ambulance to get off the track more often than not end up dead, as our subsequent FOIA reporting shows. “Bled”: indicates pulmonary hemorrhage. “DNF”: cannot finish the race. (For all new confirmed homicides during the week, see our annual list.)
