This year's Kentucky Derby took place after four horses died at Churchill Downs in the days leading up to the event.

Parents Pride died last Saturday, and Chasing Artie suddenly died on Tuesday. Both horses were trained by Saffie Joseph Jr., and the cause of death has not yet been determined, according to a statement from Churchill Downs.

Additionally, two horses, Wild on Ice and Take Charge Briana, suffered "musculoskeletal injuries from which they could not recover."

Wild on Ice was training on dirt when the horse got injured on April 27. Take Charge Briana, meanwhile, was injured during a turf race on Tuesday. "Both were ultimately euthanized for humane reasons," according to the statement.

The Kentucky Derby was the first of this year's Triple Crown races. The Preakness Stakes will take place on Saturday, May 20, followed by the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 10.
