I really liked Knight's Templar. I knew that she had died, but I assumed that she had broken down in a race or of some other kind of injury.
I find this very hard to believe as a coincidence because of the rarity of cancer in horses, but there are carcinogenic substances in almost everything....the food you eat even...it depends on your genetic susceptibility to whether you develop cancer or not most of the time unless you are exposed to something incredibly bad.
There was most likely something at Belmont around those two stalls that caused the cancer, but I seriously doubt that management had much to do with it.
Oh well, we'll never really know....
