Wow. How dare I offer an opinion on this subject, huh? Especially one that differs from the popular conspiracy theories? Especially one that turns out the next day to be, so far, 100% accurate?
For those that missed it yesterday, here is my opinion again. And yes, I'll let my statements stand on their own merits.
Those of you who think differently, instead of attacking me, might try being brave and stating your own opinions, and letting your own opinions of the horse stand up to public scrutiny over time, too. Be brave, go for it <g>

I'm sure Uncle Mo is just fine. I'm sure they made the diagnosis some weeks ago, just delayed the announcement to the public. I'd say he's been treated, he's already responded well, he's gained back the 67 lbs, bloodwork shows it's under control, he's in light work, etc.
It's always possible to have a recrudescence, or an abscess, etc. in the future, but I wouldn't actively worry about it.

Well, yeah, when people have posted here that they fear for the horses life (no reason to), and they fear he'll never return to the track (no reason to), and that it's weird of two cases in one barn (not at all weird, btw), and I'm a veterinarian who knows what was published and knows a little more yet about it, yeah, I'm sure.
Because unlike every other person on this thread, I'm not blindly guessing about something I really don't know a thing about.
Damn sorry I added my professional opinion based upon my experience and my local contacts in the veterinary community.
