“Died”=was shot. Because the poor beast broke a leg. (I presume)

@mysturji @Geri I attended a race meeting at Goodwood, as a guest in one of the hospitality suites. Our merrymaking stopped abruptly when the sound of a single gunshot silenced the crowd. Screens were erected to spare us the sight of the poor animal being "put down". The horse was winched aboard a truck & carried away, under a shroud. Racing resumed after a short break but the event had lost its sparkle. The sight & sound of an animal being killed in front of twenty thousand people reminds us humanity hasn't progressed much since the days of the Roman games.
