After having given no indication that she was suffering from any type of problem, five-year-old Cambest mare Alexis Hall lost her life Tuesday, November 17 during
a training mile at Emerald Isle Training Centre near Troy, Ont.
"At this point we don't know for certain what happened," trainer Gary Wallace, 43, told Trot Insider this morning. "She's at Guelph right now, but we are still waiting on test results."
Wallace told Trot Insider that at this point a heart attack is suspected as being the culprit.
From 59 career starts, Alexis Hall compiled a solid slate, as she recorded 18 victories, 10 second-place finishes and six thirds. Her mark of 1:50.3 was taken at age three over the seven-eighths mile course at Mohawk Racetrack. She had $314,085 in earnings on her card, $133,930 of which was banked this year.
"She was going a slow training mile," Wallace explained. "She pulled up at the three-quarters pole and walked to where the finish line would be and then just collapsed."
Alexis Hall was owned by Liam Wallace of Troy.
