(NEW YORK) — Medina Spirit, the winner of this year’s Kentucky Derby, died of a heart attack following a workout at California’s Santa Anita Park, the horse’s trainer announced Monday.
The 3-year-old colt collapsed on the track after completing a routine morning workout and died “suddenly,” the on-site veterinary team who attended to him determined, according to a statement from Santa Anita Park.
The veterinary team took blood, hair and urine samples from the horse and sent them to the California Horse Racing Board, according to Santa Anita.
A full necropsy, as per protocol in California, will be performed at the University
