A section of electricity cable has been removed from the paddock at the Newbury racecourse in England where two horses died at the weekend after apparently being electrocuted.
The horses collapsed in front of stunned onlookers in scenes unprecedented in the sport.
Newbury joint-managing director Stephen Higgins told the course website it was a "distinct possibility" that an old electric underground cable had been disturbed and today a piece of cable was taken away.
Four horses were affected altogether... two died, one was withdrawn while the fourth ran but tailed off badly.
The two that died had steel shoes while the other two were wearing aluminium plates.
Racing was called off for the day after the first event but talks are continuing to see whether some or all of the six abandoned races can be re-staged.
The much-anticipated meeting was among the last major ones before the Cheltenham Festival in March.
