The 33rd horse to die at the Santa Anita Park in Southern California since December suffered a suspected heart attack, the horse's trainer told reporters.
Ky. Colonel last raced at Golden Gate Fields in Northern California and had five wins in 20 career starts, KABC reported. A spokesman for Santa Anita declined to comment on the cause of death until the necropsy is complete but confirmed that racing would resume on Sunday. Santa Anita Park has been under intense scrutiny since the number of horse deaths began piling up earlier this year.
In June, when the death toll had climbed to 29, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for the shutdown of the park after it did not heed the California Horse Racing Board's recommendation to suspend racing.
