CYPRESS, CA — Officials released more details Sunday on the death of a racehorse who was injured at Los Alamitos Race Course.
Steamy was a 3-year-old filly who died Tuesday, according to the California Horse Racing Board, which listed her death as racing-related. Her last race was April 30 at Los Alamitos, when she finished last in the seven- horse field, although the race chart made no mention of an injury.
"Steamy sustained a back injury during the race that became apparent when she was returned to the barn and worsened over time to require euthanasia on the morning of May 4," Mike Marten, spokesman for the CHRB, told City News Service.
