Its not that big a deal really.
Once Rachel Alexandra ran up the track, you know that Jess Jackson et al. would have decided that maybe that ankle chip of hers was bugging her more than they thought and that they would do surgery and she'd miss the rest of the year. Now we at least get a couple of more starts before a similar scenario takes place in the Travers or Haskell. And instead of the vet that passed her on prepurchase inspection getting sued it will be Zayat and the rest of the goon squad.
