a distance of two miles and the Manhattan Handicap at a mile and a half. In 1969, Quicken Tree added to his resume. In 1970, trainer Clyde Turk's assistant, William Canney, took over the horse's race conditioning. Under Canney, he continued to win, and, twenty years after Noor won both the 1¼ mile Santa Anita Handicap and the 1¾ mile San Juan Capistrano Invitational Handicap, Quicken Tree became the only other horse to accomplish that feat. Injury and death His win in the San Juan Capistrano Invitational Handicap (a dead heat with Fiddle Isle) was his last victory. Although he recovered following an operation to repair a cracked sesamoid bone that occurred when he kicked the wall in his stall, he developed a case of enteritis and died in his stall at Santa Anita Park on October 22, 1970. He was buried next to Lamb Chop near the mile and a quarter chute at Santa Anita Park.
