Unraced 2 year old colt Explodabul, by exciting young sire Estambul has died after a track accident.

As added by reader... " Explodabul collapsed & died when trotting in off the track after pacework one morning. An autopsy showed a heart attack - no apparent reason as he hadn’t been under great pressure that morning, just plain bad luck (especially for the horse). Luckily because he was only trotting nobody got hurt - he was an enormous big horse and if he'd crashed at the gallop his rider would have been in trouble. He was a lovely big horse with a huge stride and plenty of gears, and was showing a heap of ability".
