What a game this is!
The horse spiked a temp yesterday.
It never got above 102, which is not very high.
Suddenly, at 4:30 Wednesday morning, he simply collapsed in his stall at Belmont Park.
We are having an autopsy performed.
J. J. Toner suspects that he may have had an undected abscess in a lung that may have burst under the stress of the race. He did have a lung infection last year.
I am mystified.
