The following horses died at U.S. racetracks in 2024. Please note, however, that there are piles of data – dead horses, that is – not available to us: horses injured racing or training and euthanized off-site (i.e., not reportable); the too-badly-damaged euthanized after being taken in by rescues; the dead who simply fall through the cracks of apathetic or slipshod reporting to and from state racing commissions.
What’s more, not every state gives us all the information we request. Louisiana, for example, only gives us racing deaths, arguing that training and stall deaths are beyond their purview. Even worse, we currently receive nothing from Florida and Arkansas. Nothing. The “explanation,” at least from Florida, is that HISA collects death data now, with the state commission being bypassed entirely. The problem with that, of course, is that HISA is not subject to FOIA, and has heretofore not released any information on deaths beyond a few raw numbers (i.e., no names, no dates, no details). So, kills in Florida (and Arkansas) are now effectively being hidden. For context, though, in the nine years our FOIAs were honored, we documented 850 deaths in Florida – or about 94 per year.
Most significant, however, is that we have zero access to the horses killed at the over 200 private training facilities strewn across the land. In short, we estimate that some 2,000 racehorses perish in America every year. That’s 2,000 beautiful, intelligent, sensitive beings destroyed – for $2 bets.
