Horse deaths hover as pall over Derby week
Four horses died in five days in Louisville and two Kentucky Derby contenders could be scratched as one stable copes with the sudden loss.
Derby entry Wild on Ice suffered a fatal hind leg injury and two horses died Tuesday after collapsing as part of the same race card: Take Charge Briana, trained by D. Wayne Lukas, and Chasing Artie. Parents Pride had a leg injury and was euthanized on Saturday.
