Two horses collapse and die in Newbury paddock - Horse Racing News | Racing Post

TWO horses have collapsed and died in the paddock at Newbury before the first race.
Fenix Two and Marching Song both collapsed within ten yards of each other at the western end on the paddock.
Vets have gone to the start to check the remainder of the runners after Kid Cassidy seemed to wobble before leaving the paddock.
Graham Thorner, co-owner of Marching Song, was in tears in the paddock while Kid Cassidy's trainer Nicky Henderson said: "Just before he left the paddock he wobbed but he was okay once on the rubber mats that lead out of paddock."

Terrible freak occurrence at an otherwise exciting day at the track
