To me - the real story in all of this - is that Presque Isle's morning line maker made the horse coming off of a 7-year-layoff 3/1 on the morning line.

I wonder how the Grand Forks saga ended. No recent works

I wonder if they would know or at least be able to tell us who we might contact...

It's the arthritis to dirt angle.

It’s safe to say it’s very unusual for a 10-year-old pregnant Thoroughbred mare that hasn’t raced in seven years to return to training.

But after Pennsylvania-based owner-trainer Andrew Davidovich’s mare Violet Eyed Diva, who is 2 1/2 months pregnant to his farm stallion Draft Age (by Storm Cat), was entered in a July 1 claiming race at Presque Isle Downs & Casino but then scratched by stewards, Davidovich began working to prove his mare was in fact healthy enough to race and deserved to make a comeback in spite of the extraordinary circumstances.

According to Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission officials, though Davidovich presented a compelling argument in the form of a letter stating the details behind the mare’s strong training and positive veterinary exams, regulators want to take a closer look before approving the mare to race at the Erie track.

I gather they might just "take a closer look" for awhile til he gives up and takes her back home.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Whatsthescript's return to the races after his stint as a sire covering 26 broodmares. Bertrando?
