Explosion and fire at Moulton Paddocks
Horse dead following paddocks fire
22 August 2008 | 19:39 RUSSELL CLAYDON A HORSE at a well known paddocks has been put down following an explosion this evening. A fire broke out in Moulton Paddocks Estate, Newmarket at 4.15pm today after an explosion in a medical chamber. One horse had to be put down after the incident. Two fire crews were dispatched to the scene and isolated the electricity supply before extinguishing the fire. * * * * * Just heard about this dreadful news from Newmarket. I have no further news on the horse involved, but it is likely to be trained by Godolphin. Dreadful incident

Terrible. It sounds like a hyperbaric chamber accident.
According to BBC it was a Godolphin horse: Horse put down after an explosion - A racehorse has been put down after an explosion and fire in a medical unit at an equestrian centre in Suffolk. Two fire appliances were called in the late afternoon to the Moulton Paddocks Estate in Newmarket owned by Godolphin. This pre-training centre for horses was bought in 2004 by Godolphin, founded by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of the Dubai royal family. A fire service spokeswoman said: "There was an explosion in a medical chamber and a horse was put down by a vet." Oxygen and electricity supplies were isolated and a fire put out by crews.
