Lost in Limbo tumbled into the dirt during the seventh race at the racetrack on Friday and was unable to get up. Video obtained by Fox News Digital, via PETA, shows an ambulance driving up to the horse, and employees putting up a curtain to hide him, presumably so doctors could put him down.

He was seven years old in his 35th race.

When a horse died last Saturday, it was thought to be the ninth death. However, Bosque Redondo was "humanely euthanized" in a hospital after a May 13 race.
