Just wondering doc....this injury was not bad enough to keep him from working 5f in less than 1:00 before the Preakness? That was a very solid workout, and one that led me to think he was fine.

If this is the case, I would almost compare this to a cartilage tear I had when I was younger. I could run a mile with no problem, but the swelling would start and the next 2.1 miles I ran would be very rough. Would this be the case with FF?

I'm just being Curious George here.......
