Do you know for a fact that several vets said that Folklore could come back and be the same horse? I find that very hard to believe. If several vets thought she could come back and be the same horse, they would have probably brought her back.
I would not believe everything trainers say. When Lukas's horse broke down before the 2005 Derby, Lukas totally tried to downplay the injury. On an interview on TVG he said that "these things happen all the time during Derby week, a cracked sesamoid, a quarter crack, a bruised foot, etc." He was trying to play to the people that don't know anything. How could he compare a bruised foot or a quarter crack with a broken sesamoid. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. He was basicaly saying that a broken sesamoid is no big deal and that horses pull out of the Derby a few days before the race with these nagging injuries all the time.
