If collapsing, breaking pelvis, and becoming trapped within the starting stalls can happen to any horse - then something is very wrong within the racing world.

Thankfully incidents of this nature are far and few between. If they weren't, starting stalls wouldn't be used. That Imogen is the obvious - just needs a little logic applied.

The horse apparent suffered some sort of heart failure, hence the collapse.

Thanks, but someone (minus the drama) kindly private messaged me explaining what happened!
I was speaking vastly, thank you for taking it out of context... I hope it makes your day run a bit smoother.

Also, this is the first I have heard about the heart failure. But I was not implying quite how you made it out.

Thanks anyway.

RIP, accidents happen. Yes similar things can happen to any horse- for example my friends' horse slipped in a trailer, broke 2 legs and smashed its head in - then again it was an ex racer so maybe it was just the racing influence kicking in a bit late
