Prairie Bayou broke-down in the 1993 Belmont Stakes. After taking 2nd in the Derby and 1st in the Preakness, his victories came to an end. He threw his jockey, Mike Smith, on the back stretch and continued riderless toward the final turn. He had fractured his cannon bone and was euthanized.
This horse is thin with a thin neck, also curving upward slightly. His legs look straight, especially his left front, which we can see because he is placing weight on it. His ribs, as seen from this angle, are sprung well.
