"His ankles are a little jarred up," Mandella said. "I'm sure we're going to X-ray him. It could be a minor thing, it could be more serious. We'll have to see in the next few days. Everything's up in the air (regarding the Breeders' Cup Juvenile [G1])."

It was reported in DRf that he will indeed be passing the race.
Mandella is too good a horseman to take a shot with a horse shipping halfway across the country in a race this big to send one who isnt 100%. Kudos to him on the decision.
