Less than one week after being retired from racing due to a tendon injury, three-time Grade 1 winner Dullahan is dead. The 4-year-old son of the Unbridled's Song stallion Even the Score suffered a ruptured colon and could not be saved despite the best efforts of Hagyard Medical Institute surgeons Nathan Slovis and Robert Hunt, according to Jerry Crawford, managing partner of the Donegal Racing partnership that campaigned Dullahan.

i saw that but it seems odd that it happened so suddenly-wonder if he had an issue?

A bad impaction can lead very quickly to a ruptured colon.
