The incident took place on Friday evening.
The rest of the races of the winter session has been suspended, a turf manager said.
A police officer told PTI on Saturday that it all started when one of the horses in the race stumbled and broke its leg.
Two other horses in the race too stumbled after colliding with the injured horse, he said.
