Team Valor International has announced that its stakes winning colt  
Sailor's Cap died suddenly early Wednesday morning at Belmont Park.  
The cause of death is not yet known.

"He spiked a temperature during the day on Tuesday," said trainer  
J.J. Toner, "and simply collapsed early in the morning. We are all  
incomplete shock over this turn of events."

An autopsy will be performed at the New Bolton Clinic of the  
University of Pennsylvania, the same place where Barbaro was sent  
after his 2006 Preakness Stakes injury.

Sailor's Cap, ridden by Alan Garcia, won Sunday's $100,000 Poker  
Stakes at Belmont. The four-year-old covered the one-mile turf race  
in 1:36.50 in defeating 3-5 favorite Kip Deville.

The colt was the winner of four of 10 lifetime starts for $616,970.  
Last year he won the $600,000 Colonial Turf Cup at Colonial Downs and  
was third in the track's $700,000 Virginia Derby.

"He was just coming into his own," said Team Valor president Barry  
Irwin. "This shows the highs and lows of this game. It is a tough nut  
to swallow."
