Linny, I'll give you another example of a really good horse that ran with a pretty serious problem. One of my trainers was at Del Mar on Del Mar Futurit day back in 1999. He said that when Forrest Camp walked by him in the paddock, he couldn't belive he size of one of his ankles. He couldn't believe the horse was going to run on that ankle. Anyway, he won the race by about 5 lengths but that was the end of his career. He never ran again.
I'm sure they still made out fine. Because of the victory in that race, I think the horse was worth a few million dolllars for breeding.
