As the racecourse’s operator, Churchill Downs Incorporated, announced Friday, no more events will be held at the facility for the time being. Security measures must now be checked “in collaboration with advice and experts”.

Cause still unclear

Upcoming events that should have been held at the Kentucky track will now be moved to the Ellis Park track in Henderson, Nevada. In addition, new rules have been introduced stating that horses can only start four times in eight weeks and will be suspended if something is wrong with their performance. In addition, the starting bonuses for trainers have been cancelled.

The cause of the many deaths is still unclear, according to a statement from the organizers, no pattern has yet been found in studies linking the cases. (byl)
