European shipper Jayarebe (Fr) (Zoffany {Ire}) died following the running of Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Turf.
The 3-year-old finished the race, but collapsed during the gallop out. According to a statement put out by the Breeders' Cup, Jayarebe suffered what appears to have been a cardiac event. He was immediately attended to by a team of veterinary experts led by Dr. Brent Cassady, but unfortunately passed away. His jockey, Sean Levey, was uninjured.
“Our thoughts and condolences go out to Jayarebe's connections and the many fans whose lives he touched,” read the statement.
Trained by Brian Meehan, the colt was 4-for-7 lifetime with his biggest win coming in the Oct. 5 G2 Prix Dollar at Longchamp.
