It was during the parade lap before the race that Loke Burge kicked the driver backwards, writes Aftonbladet. The horse then ran around the track.

It ran into a gate and suffered a serious injury. The injury meant the horse had to be euthanized, trainer Mikael Cedergren tells Kanal 75.

The driver, Fredrik Plassen, says he had pain in his leg after the horse kicked him.
