Two horses died at Royal Ascot yesterday on the opening day of the annual event.
Case Statement and Sir Graham Wade had to be humanely put down after sustaining serious injuries during races.
Case Statement received immediate first aid on course from the racecourse veterinary surgeons before being transferred by horse ambulance to the veterinary assessment centre at the racecourse stables where he was X-rayed.
'The X-rays confirmed that Case Statement had sustained a fracture of his near-fore fetlock.
Following full evaluation, the nature of the injury was such that sadly there was no other option but for the horse to be humanely put down.’
On Sir Graham Wade, Hall said: ‘The vets diagnosed that he had suffered a serious pelvis fracture that the nature of the injury was such that there was no other option than to be humanely put down.'
