💔 Practical Move ~ Gone 💔
 

Practical Move , the Santa Anita Derby (G1) winner who had been entered in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1), died of an apparent heart attack following his morning gallop Oct. 31 at Santa Anita Park.

The 3-year-old son of Practical Joke is trained by Tim Yakteen, and owned by Leslie and Pierre Jean Amestoy Jr. with Roger Beasley.

Something like that seems to defy logic and you don't see it happen very often, but I know that sometimes human athletes can suddenly die like that too and it is often attributed to a heart defect. Whatever the cause, it is very sad and I am sorry for his human connections.
