The jock, Kieren Fallon, was worried about how the horse warmed up. He had the veterinarian and trainer, Aiden O'Brien, examine the horse at the gate. Delayed the start 10 minutes or so before they deemed him fit to run. He broke down a furlong or so out and had to be put down.

There was certainly an uproar within the racing community, but seeing how it was overseas, I don't think the American press made much of it.
