Prosecutor’s task force to probe horse deaths at Santa Anita

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County’s top prosecutor says she’s formed a task force to investigate 23 horse deaths at Santa Anita Park between December and March.
District Attorney Jackie Lacey said Tuesday the task force of prosecutors and peace officers will “determine whether unlawful conduct or conditions affected the welfare and safety” of the horses.
Lacey’s office had previously said its investigators would work with the California Horse Racing Board
