August 23, 2006 (WLS) -- Arlington Park has lost another race horse to an injury. Track officials say "Gringa Hug" had to be euthanized Wednesday following a race.
The remains will be examined at the University of Illinois to determine what caused the injury.
Just last weekend two other horses were euthanized because of leg fractures. So far this season, Arlington Park has had to euthanize 21 horses, which is an unusually high number.
Earlier this month, the Illinois Racing Board brought in an independent consultant who determined that the track is safe.
