CYPRESS — Another racehorse has died at Los Alamitos Race Course, the track's 19th horse fatality of the year. Sugar Girl, a 2-year-old filly who had not yet competed in a race, died from an accident on Saturday, according to the California Horse Racing Board. Sugar Girl 'broke away from her handlers Saturday afternoon at Los Alamitos, jumped a fence, fell, and then died from injuries,' Mike Marten, public information officer with the CHRB, told City News Service on Tuesday. She was scheduled to compete in Saturday's 10th race, but was listed as a veterinarian's scratch, according to the official race chart.
