Anyone know what happened to Trumpster at Saratoga yesterday? I saw that he went down in the 2nd race and have heard that he died on track. Heart attack? Heat stroke?

Just saw this in NY Daily News:
The race was marred by the death of the Finger Lakes shipper Trumpster, who fell in upper stretch after suffering a fatal heart attack. Jockey Michael Davila Jr. was thrown hard to the ground and was taken to the Albany Medical Center complaining of pain to his ribs but was expected to be released. :(
