Summary:
The steeplechase horse Arcadius, a thoroughbred won a race including three miles and eighteen hurdles. Two minutes after the Jockey unequipped the horse, it died. Steps from the finish line where he seemed to have so much life. He passed away right there and it was definitely a sad sight to see.

Significance:
This Horse that passed away recently worked so hard to achieve this goal. I think that they worked the horse a little too hard even to the point of death. It shows that if you push someone or something too hard, they might just give out. It shows that you should work hard but you don't have to kill yourself trying.

Question:
How will the Owner of the Horse deal with this?
