LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A horse has died after a race at Churchill Downs, making it the eighth fatality in recent weeks at the home of the Kentucky Derby.
Longtime trainer Don Von Hemel — once a fixture at AkSar-Ben racetrack — is calling it a career.
The 88-year-old officially retired May 6, the final day of the Oaklawn meet in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It marked the end of a 67-year career that saw him rise to legendary status in Nebraska. Plus, Hit Show ran 5th in the Kentucky Derby and competing in the Belmont Stakes remains a possibility.

The deaths of seven horses at the home of the Kentucky Derby has once again intensified the debate over the safety of horse racing. Two of the deaths occurred as the result of race injuries on Derby day at Churchill Downs. The track says there was no discernible pattern detected in the injuries. In recent years the industry has instituted a series of veterinary and medication reforms, which led to the fatality rate dropping. A leg injury in a racehorse can cause other complications that can lead to death.
Horse racing's Triple Crown moves on to the Preakness with horse deaths at Churchill Downs casting a big shadow. Seven horses have died at the track since April 27, including Derby entrant Wild On Ice. Freezing Point and Chloe’s Dream were euthanized after injuries before Saturday’s Kentucky Derby that was ultimately won by Mage. Five sustained catastrophic leg injuries, while two succumbed from causes yet to be determined.

The question for now is how the stunning occurrence of fatal injuries at the cathedral of horse racing affects the sport with the Preakness and Belmont Stakes following over the next month. And, how horse racing responds.

The cast of characters for the 149th Kentucky Derby was rewritten in the days leading up to Saturday's race. What didn't change is Forte is the early 3-1 favorite in a seemingly wide-open field of 19 horses. Four horses were scratched and three moved into the field. A crowd of about 150,000 is expected to jam Churchill Downs to wager and watch the 1 1/4-mile Derby. Todd Pletcher trains Forte, and two other horses. Brad Cox has a leading four entries, including early 8-1 third choice Angel of Empire. Saturday's forecast calls for partly sunny skies and a high of 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
The gray son of Candy Ride, Hit Show, will carry the colors — pink with black diamonds — for the Wests, who saw their hopes dashed in 2019 when Maximum Security won the Derby but was disqualified for interference in the stretch. That was a first in the almost 150-year history of the race.
