Dayjur - 1990 Breeders Cup Sprint

At the beginning of the video you can see break down of a horse called Mr Nickerson who had a heart attack and Shaker Knit fell over him. Very sad.

really sad for both of them but i dont think the horse tht broke down had a heart attack i think he broke his leg

In pedigreequery says that he had a heart attack

Quote "Was running in final career race, the 1990 Breeders Cup Sprint, when felled by a heart attack and died on the track."

Dayjur would have been the winner here had he not the shadow but you can't take anything away from Safely Kept either. She was always a game sprinter and her connections never had a problem running her against the boys because she was that good.

You can't doubt that Dajyur was the better horse, without the leap he would have won by a length plus. But, however, this is the sort of stuff that makes horse racing great.

I worked with thoroughbreds for 12 years and I had a horse in my care who had a heart attack and died right on the track during early morning workouts. I also was at Bay Meadows out in California when a horse named Bedside Promise was a heavy favorite in the stakes race that day finish dead last and just after being unsaddled and while being led back to his stable he dropped dead from a heart attack right in the middle of the track on the clubhouse turn.

You can believe whatever you want, but there's no conspiracy. It's absolute fact, Mr. Nickerson had a heart attack. It happens rarely, but it does just ask the connections of Swale or Siphonic. They don't have to even be in the middle of a race to have the heart attack. Easy Goer, I believe, was just being shown to people at the stud barn. In this race, Shaker Knit was paralyzed and put down a day later after they let spinal cord swelling ease and it was clear he wasn't going to get better.
