Up to 80% all racehorses will have blood in their trachea after a race, however, only around 1% will show [[Epistaxi - Horse|epistaxis]] after racing. The exact etiology is unknown, but impact forces of the hooves striking the ground is thought to play a role as this is thought to rupture capillaries in the dorsocaudal area of the lung. Because only around 5% or less of horses show epistaxis, the condition is undetected in most.
