Horses are very fragile animals.  Midnight Bourbon a horse who finished 6th in last year's Kentucky Derby, has died after a gastrointestinal episode.  He was four years old.

The 4-year-old racehorse's passing occurred Sunday morning following a five-furlong workout at Churchill in 1:01 1/5 that took place about three hours earlier, his trainer indicated. "He got a little uncomfortable and then he deteriorated very rapidly," said Asmussen.

David Fiske, racing manager for Winchell Thoroughbreds, called the colt's death a "gut punch," noting that he had been at Churchill Downs Sunday morning to observe Midnight Bourbon and other horses before traveling back to his residence in Central Kentucky.
