Chaysen' Alex trailed the field early but came with a powerful run in the stretch to get up for the victory. Race was marred by the breakdown of Inhaler. On the far turn, Inhaler, who stalked the pace early, was starting to get pulled up by Dominguez and bearing out, causing favored Cires to be taken extremely wide. Cires was able to get by Inhaler, who then took a bad step and fell to the ground. Dominguez rolled over a couple of times but did not look to be seriously injured. The horse broke down in his left front, with broken sesamoids along with other injuries, and was euthanized on the track.

That's terribly sad. My sympathies to all his connections.

Feel bad for the horse and glad Dominguez is ok . These comments like "took a bad step" seem as an attempt to cover any injury . I don't believe we know what caused the breakdown . I do know that Inhaler was off almost a year . I do know he is by Unbridled Song with a 3x4 Mr Prospector cross . This is a high risk breeding and unfortunately it's up to the horse to live with it and try to survive with it . He had no choice in the breeding .
