Kentucky stable fire kills 26 horses
HENDERSON, Ky. -- Another fire has hit a western Kentucky stable, killing 26 horses.
Riverside Downs co-owner Mark Bowling says the blaze at the former race track near Henderson broke out before dawn Thursday.
Bowling said a handful of horses escaped the barn, which was a total loss. The cause of the fire wasn't immediately determined.
A fire on Jan. 4 at Riverside Downs killed six horses. Investigators said an electrical cord to a vending machine caused that blaze.
