i don't. she was in training for weeks after the race, and then raced again. the injury didn't appear til after the race following the belmont. they assumed it happened in her race vs the females.
i just don't get why people think a filly runs harder vs males then vs fillies. it's not as tho a horse can run above their ability because they sense their competition level has risen.
