Horse dies during horse racing from heart attack

Seven-year-old merin nicknamed Lausange Bleu, who during his career brought the owners more than 1.7 million euros in prize money, died during a race in France, reports RMC Sport.

The tragic incident occurred on October 11 at the Parisian racecourse “Otey” during the race for the Carmarthen prize. The horse was in the lead at 4,300 meters with barriers, but on the last turn unexpectedly fell.

The veterinarian who arrived at the scene confirmed the death of the animal. According to the preliminary version, the cause was a heart attack. An autopsy will be carried out by the stewards.

Lausange Ble established himself as an outstanding horse: he won five victories in the competitions of the first group - the most prestigious category. His assets include the Renault du Vivier Prize (2023), the Autumn Grand Prix (2024 and 2025), as well as the Great Barrier Races of Otheus (2024 and 2026).
