Available information for each horse, race, racecourse, trainer and jockey was collated and combined with details of all fatalities recorded by official veterinary officers in a central database. A fatality was defined as any post\u2010start veterinary event that resulted in the sudden death or euthanasia of a horse within 48\u2009h of racing. Risk factors (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009101) were evaluated using mixed\u2010effects logistic regression.

In hurdling, maiden races (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.0\u20131.6) were at higher odds of fatality. In both race types, softer going decreased the odds of fatality.
