FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Action News has learned a second horse at the Fresno fairgrounds has died.
The California Horse Racing Board reports the 6-year-old male developed pneumonia in a stable at the racetrack.
The fair’s racing director says the horse named Tulane Tryst showed signs of an illness this past Friday.
The horse was treated before veterinary professionals recommended euthanasia and the cause of his illness is still being determined.
This comes as authorities investigate the loss of a five-year-old horse that went down during a race on Sunday.
