A racehorse, which was heading for a stable after training, suddenly bolted and crashed into two other horses that were running on a track at Sonoda Racecourse in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, at around 6 a.m. on Monday, police said.
The three jockeys on each of the horses fell, and one of them, a man in his 40s, died. The two others, in their 30s and 40s, sustained bruises and other minor injuries. The police are investigating the details.
