If it was SO bad, like hitting yourself with a hammer, I'd think it wouldn't be invisible now would it? Also, there is a debate on whether or not horses feel pain while running which is why they will continue to run while breaking down ( ) because of the adrenaline. So in the end no one can really say for certain what got him but, only that unfortunately he did.

Also, for anyone who has been waiting for his return, unfortuantely he hasn't had a published work in over a month.
Sadly I don't think there will be a return.
I guess I'm gonna have to always remember him by that last race, the Travers, when he was trying so hard and battling with guts and raw talent even though he was up against it with his lack of works for the race. He proved his mettle that day, moreso in that loss than any victory he ever had.

I certainly agree with that and I will do cartwheels if somehow they can get that enormous mound of handsomeness back on the track. At least they have been trying; DRF did an article on how they were swimming him daily and doing other things to get him fit before he posted those few works.
