Two horses collapsed and died under mysterious circumstances Saturday before a race.
The first race was held after a 20-minute delay, but officials canceled the rest of the program due to safety concerns.
"Whilst there are suspicions that an electrical fault was the cause and this is being looked into by the racecourse and relevant authorities, it is important that we investigate other possible causes," said Professor Tim Morris, director of Equine Science and Welfare for the BHA.
Jonjo O'Neill, trainer of Fenix Two, said he noticed the horse in front of his, Kid Cassidy, go down on its knees before his horse was struck.
