Todays racing at Newbury has been abandoned, as two horses are believed to have been electrocuted.
Two horses have died in the paddock, just before the start of the first race. Fenix Two and Marching Song collapsed and fell to the ground, with the reasons for their death unknown.
Several others stumbled, but managed to recover in time for the start of the race. One of the girls leading the horses reported a tingling sensation as she walked on the damp grass.
The most obvious cause is electrocution, but this has yet to be confirmed.
At 14.10 the decision was taken to abandon the rest of the day’s meeting |

It's such a horrible thing to happen. In one of the news reports I heard they hinted at sabotage. How could anyone do that if this is the case? |

Someone is to blame, quite obviously, either through neglect or poor workmanship or whatever...and
they should be charged with Manslaughter(or Horseslaughter) as they have killed a living being. There is no excuse and they should be sued for every penny they have! ( I say a life for a life!) |

Just the sort of unthinking sensationalist posting that would be expected. It says something about our society today. Compensation madness. |

And your suggestion is??? Todays society is too bloody soft...that's why we are overcrowded (to say the least) is it not? Someone needs to make a bold stand to administer deterants that should have been in place decades ago! |

Sue somebody for compensation and that will reduce the "overcrowding" problem. Good suggestion. |

There's so much wrong with his post. Blame and compensation culture mixed up with Right Wing views about being overcrowded. You're right, is really says something about our society today and not in a good way. |

A numpty actually. Not that I'm offended by the word but do object to the Scottish connotations. |
