Sailor's Cap, winner of the Grade 3 Poker Stakes at Belmont Park on June 14, died of probable cardiac arrest from an underlying condition of colitis X, according to Barry Irwin, president of Team Valor International.
Irwin reported the initial necropsy results in an e-mail on Saturday morning.
Sailor's Cap died suddenly Wednesday in his Belmont Park stall. He was sent to the New Bolton Clinic in Pennsylvania for an autopsy.
I owned a small percentage of this beautiful horse Sailors cap. This horse was just on the verge of having a huge year, and then he is gone.
