Am I Blue, who finished last in Friday's first race, fell shortly after the finish of the six-furlong race and was treated for heat-related effects before rising to his feet and being vanned to the stables.

Am I Blue was fitted with a brace on his right foreleg when he rose to his feet. An 8-1 shot, Am I Blue was out of contention early in the race. While laying on the ground, several buckets of water were splashed around his neck, back and loins for comfort.

Sadly, the stewards reported shortly after 1 p.m. that Am I Blue was euthanized as a result of a suspensory injury.

Temperatures are close to 80 this afternoon, unseasonably warm for the time of the year.
