Then you oughta know that splints arent like fractures and arent always noticed right away. I adored that horse. His Travers was the most inccredible display or raw talent and guts I ever saw. Noone I ever saw would have run a race like that off 4 slow breezes and 30 days training, noone. The fact that he actually took after FA after the wire and caught him tells me everything I need to know about what kind of guts this horse had. That and the fact that any other horse I ever saw who was hooked by a sharp fit horse like FA was who had only 4 slow breezes would have stopped to a walk. he actually came back at him after he was passed and kept going to the wire and after it. He was as game as any horse I ever saw in my life that day.
