A high-stakes weekend of important races is approaching for Santa Anita Park -- the racetrack where 23 horses have died since December, rocking the industry.
Just two days after racing resumed at Santa Anita Park, another horse died on the famed track Sunday, becoming the 23rd horse death since late December.

All race day medications will be banned at Santa Anita Park, the group that owns the race track announced Thursday, after another horse suffered a fatal injury.
Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, will reopen for "limited training" Monday morning, after racing was suspended last week in response to the deaths of 21 racehorses since December 26.
Santa Anita Park announced Tuesday it is suspending racing at least through the weekend following reports of 21 racehorses dying while racing or training at the famed track since December 26.
