According to this NPR story, that's hard info to come by:

What would the reaction be if you move from SA because of breakdowns and then a horse breaks down at Churchill?
There's going to be an uproar for any death at (or just before) this year's BC, no matter where it's held. But I agree with ateam that it's going to look all the worse if the fatality happens at Santa Anita, the track that's been at the center of almost all recent media attention.
