The body of an unidentified Hispanic man found Sunday morning in a stable at Churchill Downs was being treated as a homicide, police investigators told the press.  The cause of death would be determined by the coroner, she said.

The discovery was made around 4:30 am in a barn close to where Kentucky Derby winner I’ll Have Another was being kept.  Barn eight had been cordoned off all morning.

It was disclosed that the victim does have ties to the racing world. 

For some this is looking like a case of deja vu.  A week after last year's Kentucky Derby, jockey Michael Baze's body was found in a vehicle parked near the stables of Churchill Downs.
