How terrible! Rest in peace, beautiful girl.

Sadly, if she was bleeding due to a fractured pelvis, that process is accelerated when the heart is beating full speed during a race. The blood loss causes loss of oxygenation.
Fortunately, she probably never experienced severe distress.

I remember them commenting on it on TVG as she pulled up. Never occurred to me that I was looking at a horse with a fractured pelvis. She just looked absolutely worn out. Poor girl. And she ran well for awhile there in spite of it all.

She was a lovely mare. Very tragic indeed.
Heartfelt condolences to all of her people.
