"And then we work together as a sport to see if there's anything that we could have done differently to prevent it from happening."Chili is Hot clipped the heels of the horse in front which caused her to fall and Dom To Shoot was then unable to avoid her and also came down." "The key thing for me is to distinguish between animal rights activists who have a stated mandate that no animal should ever be used for sport, full stop," Mr Oldring said.Mr Oldring said those involved in animal welfare, such as the RSPCA, worked with the racing industry to ensure the "utmost care" of the horses.Racegoers at Ascot were left stunned on Sunday after the tragic fall.
