Arcangelo won the $1.25 million Travers by a length at Saratoga, giving trainer Jena Antonucci her second major Grade 1 victory after the colt won the Belmont Stakes.
Forte finished fourth. Preakness winner National Treasure was fifth and Kentucky Derby winner Mage was last in the seven-horse field.
In the Jerkens Memorial, New York Thunder was leading the way under Tyler Gaffalione when the colt suffered a catastrophic injury to its left front leg in the stretch and fell, according to the New York Racing Association. New York Thunder was euthanized on the track. Gaffalione wasn’t hurt. The colt was trained by Jorge Delgado.
All seven of the deaths involved catastrophic injuries during racing. The meet began July 13 and has featured 2,461 horses starting in 324 races. A horse named Burning Bright died suddenly during a race because of a major cardiovascular event, NYRA said.
