According to trainer and co-owner Tim Martin, a necropsy performed on the popular Iowa-bred Tyler's Tribe (Sharp Azteca) revealed that his death was the result of a collapsed trachea. He died following a workout Wednesday at Oaklawn. Martin said that when the trachea collapsed Tyler's Tribe was deprived of air and oxygen, which caused him to die. Martin said the problem with the trachea also explains why Tyler's Tribe had on-going problems with bleeding. The gelding bled in each of his last two starts and also bled in the 2022 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. He was eased in the Breeders' Cup and had to be vanned off the track. “He had a weak trachea and from what I've been told that's why he was bleeding,” he said. “His oxygen was getting shut off and that made him bleed.” Martin said he had Tyler's Tribe scoped as a precautionary measure the day before he worked. “On Tuesday before I worked him, I galloped him and scoped him,” he said. “I brought my vet in to make sure that everything was clean and everything was good so I could work him the next day. He scoped clean. Everything was good. He didn't show any signs of a weak trachea. I've never experienced having a horse with a problem like that. “The exercise rider told me that he breezed good. He worked in :48 and change. Never did he show any signs of having a breathing issue. He never seemed liked he had a problem getting air. Every time he worked he acted liked he had done nothing. But they said he was losing oxygen and that would make him bleed. He pulled up after the work and was on his way back to the barn and then he just fell over.” Of the condition Martin added, “I had never even heard of this. I was told the only way you can detect this is you have to put a tube down their throats. That's news to me. This is a very rare thing, or at least that what I've been told.” After an 11-month layoff, Tyler's Tribe returned in a Mar. 10 allowance race at Oaklawn. He was beaten 20 3/4 lengths and was reported to have bled. “I did everything I could with that horse,” Martin said. “I gave him almost a year off. He is an athlete. If he wanted to run, I was going to go ahead and run him. But we talked about if he couldn't make it back I wasn't going to keep pushing him. We'd make him into a riding horse. That horse meant a lot to us and to a lot of people.” Martin lost another horse on the day after Tyler's Tribe perished. Following a five-furlong workout the gelding Collins (Into Mischief) collapsed and died. Martin said the results of the necropsy on Collins have yet to come in, but he believes the horse died of either a heart attack or an aneurysm. “I can't believe this happened twice to me, back to back,” he said. After the second fatality, the Oaklawn stewards scratched all horses trained by Martin entered to race over the final three days of the meet, which concluded Sunday. “They acted like I committed a big crime,” he said. “I didn't do anything. I know where I stand and what I do. Once I knew they died of natural causes there was nothing to be alarmed about. I've been there 40 years and they're telling me to get my horses off the grounds. What's the old saying, 'guilty until proven innocent?'” Martin has shipped out to Prairie Meadows, which opens Saturday. He said that to the best of his knowledge he will be able to race there. Tyler's Tribe won his first five starts by a combined margin of 59 3/4 lengths, which earned a trip to the Breeders' Cup. He finished last in the Juvenile Turf Sprint and was never again the same.

I'd imagine a tin like the Cardy one was for a Christmas type treat? I think Aulsebrooks went tits up in the early 80's. It's mostly all Griffins and Arnott's now. Very cool to see kiwi's paying respect to the great Cardy who did so much to put NZ on the map. The buying of NZ harness horses by yanks took off as did the breeding industry benefit. Pity the ATC couldn't pay Cardy the same respect. Dug him up for a carpark

Veteran jockey Jon Court rode the final race of his career Sunday afternoon at Oaklawn Park. Court, 63, entered Sunday with 4,263 victories and $114,023,582 in purse earnings in his career, totals that rank 67th and 59th, respectively, in North American history, according to Equibase. “It's time,” Court said moments after his final career stakes mount, Navy Seal, finished fifth in the Arkansas Breeders' Saturday at Oaklawn. “It's something I've been thinking about for a while. People have been asking me a lot. I've had a great 43 years. I'm past the 43-year mark, 44. I've got some kind of cushion and retirement laid out. I've got a real estate license and I've got some other companies that I can work part-time with, doing things off the racetrack. I really enjoy kind of mixing it up like that and getting out there in world. One thing is I was drawn here by the love of the Thoroughbred and that's going to be the toughest thing that pulls on me.” Court has been riding professionally since 1980. He rode his first winner June 7 of that year at Centennial Racetrack in Colorado. The Florida native topped the Oaklawn standings in 2000 with 69 victories. He's the seventh-winningest rider in the Arkansas track's history with 730 victories, including 38 stakes. Court also owns riding titles at several other tracks, including Ellis Park and Birmingham Turf Club. Court became the oldest jockey to ride in the Kentucky Derby when he finished 16th aboard Long Range Toddy in 2019 when he was 58. When he was 61, he became the oldest jockey in American Thoroughbred history to win a $1-million race when Last Samurai captured the GII Oaklawn H. in 2022. Court's biggest career victories included consecutive runnings of the GI Arkansas Derby, which he won in 2010 aboard Line of David and in 2011 aboard Archarcharch for trainer Jinks Fires. He also won the 2004 GI Citation H. aboard Leroidesanimaux (Brz) for Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel. Court was honored with the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award in 2007. “It's been a good career,” Court said. “Racing's been good to me. The horsemen have been great. The fans have been superior. I've got nothing but positive things going out.” The post Jon Court Retires appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
