I'm rotten lol - whenever there's a question that can't be answered always blame the CHRB or NYRA. While perhaps a covert ultrasound has already happened, CC can't have an MRI in New York because he's a Cal-bred and under CHRB rules to preserve racing integrity it could only be performed at UC Davis...

Was texting an ex-coworker, he has a small interest in racing.

I have an acquaintance who has asked me about racing since the Derby. She really wanted to bet California Chrome and pestered me till I gave in... took her damned 60 dollars, played him across the board for her (yeah I know, I know but this was what she wanted.
 ).So I'm reading my email this morning and there's one from her, can I drop off her money (?). Called her and said ummm excuse me he was off the board. She said she knew she'd only be getting her $60. back like I was the moron. So this new wagering rule whereby we get back whatever we bet... when did that go into effect cause I missed the memo. Unbelievable.

As I didn't have a reserved seat, I ended up standing near some older ladies who earnestly explained to me why racing horses at 2 was so harmful to them. The one lady said she knew this because she was involved in greyhound rescue for ten years and so knew all about the problems in thoroughbred breeding.

the nasal strip issue is right up there also - the general public has no idea that horseracing has rules and regulations - I think there's an impression you just lead your horse out on any track and let em rip like NASCAR; there's a lot of confusion about parimutuel, many don't know you can bet exotics etc. Etc. Etc.
