Horses electrocuted at race

Two horses died in the United Kingdom after apparently being electrocuted in a mysterious incident minutes before the start of a hurdle race.

Hundreds of spectators watched Fenix Two and Marching Song rear up and scream before ‘dropping like stones’ in the parade ring at Newbury racecourse in Berkshire.

It is thought they suffered electric shocks from underground cables that may have been punctured during recent drilling to aerate the ground.
