not racehorses, but i am concerned/interested either way, hope it's ok to put this here.
the reports all said "the horses are fine and our vets are caring for them", which is abt the kind of canned statement you'd expect. one was very noticeably bloodied, they ran into traffic and vehicles were involved. i can't imagine the injuries are all superficial, but crazier things with lesser injuries have happened.

does anyone have any updates?

My news feed has several articles about the incident. Here are a couple. My greatest concern is for the horse who ran into a taxi. The photo of a small taxi/van with the side bashed in shows how hard the impact was. :(

1 horse remains under observation and another is expected to recover fully

One of the military horses that broke away from their trainers and galloped through the streets of London last week is expected to make a full recovery while another remains under observation, the British Army said Monday.

Quaker, a black horse, has shown “significant improvement’’ on the way to what is expected to be a complete recovery, the army said on X, formerly known as Twitter. Vida, a gray, remains under “close and careful’’ veterinary observation for his injuries.....
