They've gone over the horse with a fine-tooth comb and they haven't been able to find anything wrong with him. That doesn't mean that there couldn't be some problem that has gone undiagnosed. But so far, they haven't been able to find anything. That's why they brought him back so soon. He appeared to come out of his last race fine so they figured they would find any easy spot for him in the hpes that he would get his confidence back with an easy win. I'm sure this race came up a little quicker than they would have liked, but it's not easy to find an allowance race for a horse like him.

By the way, they scoped him after his last two races and he scoped fine. I don't know about today.
