Two horses died during races at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino on Monday, a company spokesman confirmed.

The first death came in race 14. The horse was named Lislea Isabella, an 8-year-old mare driven by Brady Brown, trained by Steve Schoeffel, and owned by Virginia Schoeffel and Kathy Schoeffel.

According to Brady, she appeared to "choke down," which is harness lingo for a type of inability to breathe, the spokesman explained.
