The horse death toll at Churchill Downs since April 27 is now 11 after another died on Friday.

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.

The Los Angeles Times notes that a death from two weeks ago went unreported. 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.

The Times notes that prior to the race, Lost in Limbo had thrown jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. off, but he was still given the OK to run.

From April 27 to the Kentucky Derby on May 6, seven horses died from either injuries or collapsing on the track. Two of those horses died in the undercard of the Derby, and another one, Wild on Ice, was supposed to run in the race that was won by Mage.
