Just saw where Derby winner Medina Spirit collapsed and died at Santa Anita Park today after a workout. That track has some bad luck in its history with that type of thing.

Yep. The Derby win is still in limbo. No decision has been made regarding the post race testing I don't believe.

Well, they can now do an autopsy, or whatever it's called for a horse (looked it up - it's a "necropsy"). That's a shame and if "performance enhancing drugs" are found, that's also animal abuse and cruelty.

The report I saw said it was a non approved ointment that was used in the Derby.

That's what I saw too.
