A 7-year-old mare with more than 20 career races has died after suffering a racing injury at Los Alamitos, state horse racing officials reported Wednesday.
Sweet Sonny was injured during Sunday night’s third race, according to the California Horse Racing Board, which listed her death as “musculoskeletal.”
The official race chart says she took a “bad step,” pulled up and was ambulanced off the track.
