Does this taint the Travers?

Most likely it didn't occur during the race ... because Bluegrass Cat outfinished the rest of the field ... not an easy thing to do with a cracked pastern.

If he had backed up suddenly around the turn or in the stretch ... we could attribute his performance to the injury. But that wasn't the case.

Sigh,
BB you are really supposed to be better than this. Do you honestly believe whatyou just said? That he fractured it just hanging around his stall last night?
It happened during the race obviously, and no it didn't taint it one bit. But it does give me just a little perspective on why he ran away so easily. That borken heart **** is for sappy movies. Horses dont get broken hearts, if they did then poor ole BC wouldnt been 2nd in the Derby after "getting his heart broken, sniff sniff" in the Blue Grass.
Amd I really talking to adults here? You honestly believe in broken hearts and horses fracturing a pastern in a stall vs in the mile and a quarter race they just ran in?
This thread is a new low here.
