how many times is this going to happen there?

2 to electrical, one to arson

The Nov. 20 fire marks the fourth in the past five years at the Riverside Downs facility. A fire last January killed six horses and caused $70,000 in damage to one of the barns. In December 2003, 22 horses died from a fire that swept through a barn on the backside of the facility’s grounds. Both of those fires were thought to be electrical in nature.

The fourth fire, which happened in November 2005, burned the harness track’s old grandstand. Four people were charged with arson for causing that blaze.
