His heart must have been like a ticking bomb . . . . . . .can you imagine had he taken the lead in the Dubai World Cup and just dropped from a heart attack. What a mess that would have been.

Rest in Peace.

Is sort of thing just a TB racehorse stress thing or is it possibly a heart defect of sorts? Could he've been born with a weak heart for example? I wondered if anybody knows about studies or info on this sort of thing without getting too technical since I'm no vet.
