I guess there's a direct link to Fentanyl and horse racing.

4 horses die at Churchill Downs in the days leading up to Kentucky Derby

What do you think is going on?

Two were injuries.
Two were the same trainer so that narrows.
Big money in play so everyone looking for an edge. Doping? Seems unlikely.

Another horse died after running at Churchill Downs on Sunday, raising the tally to eight fatalities at the track in the weeks leading up to and since it hosted the Kentucky Derby.
Rio Moon was euthanized after he “suffered a catastrophic injury to his left foreleg a few strides after the wire,” according to an Equibase chart cited by the Associated Press. The 3-year-old ridden by jockey Martin Garcia and trained by Dale Romans was running in the sixth race of the day at the famed Louisville track.

Churchill Downs announced Friday it will suspend all racing operations after an "unusual" number of horse injuries and 12 deaths occurred at the Louisville, Kentucky track since April 27. The suspension will run from June 7 to July 3, so Churchill Downs will move the rest of its Spring Meet to Ellis Park in Henderson, Kentucky.
After a series of concurrent investigations by Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, "no single factor has been identified as a potential cause and no discernable pattern has been detected to link the fatalities," according to a statement from the track. The racetrack's surface has also been deemed "consistent with prior measurements" from previous years and thus "has not raised concerns."
Still, Churchill Downs is suspending operations to review its safety and surface protocols to identify the concerning trend's cause.
