Its sad for anyone to lose one on the track, but the fact is they broke down on polytrack. They have had 6 in the last week, thats significant regardless of who they are breaking down for. Especially when I have noticed a significant change in recent times at Arlington. It seems to me they tried to speed up the track and it put the horses in danger.
I am always leery of horses on the hard drop to the bottom, especially for connections that aren't the 'sentimental' type. When these type breakdown, track surface is usually incidental.
