, winner of this year’s Kentucky Derby, collapsed and died Monday morning while breezing at Santa Anita. No cause of death was announced, but the early indications are that it was a heart attack. A necropsy will be performed.
The 3-year-old colt was breezing around 7:45 a.m. when he collapsed around the finish line. He had just finished a five-furlong workout when he collapsed. The horse ambulance was brought out and he was taken off the track. The death was confirmed by the California Horse Racing Board. “At the end of the breeze, he was slowing down at the wire,” said Dr. Jeff Blea, equine medical director for the CHRB. “Right after the wire, he looked odd, and you could see the horse stagger and then he just laid down past the wire. Track vets got to him right away, but he was already gone. These types of things are presumed to be cardio-vascular events.”
