Just when racing is on a high after this weekend, something like this happens. Sigh.

no doubt it happened in the race. not something that would show up immediately. that's why they always say lets' see how they come out of the race. too often you put up the horse that night and he's fine, come back the next morning early, and stiffness has set in...
