Bone chips are considered breakdowns now? Poor broken down Rachel Alexandra.

There are plenty of stress fractures that are not visible on even excellent digital radiographs. Nobody here knows if the horse (who was training very well) was radiographed after the Derby and before the Preakness, and vetted perfectly clean; only later to have the stress fracture found, visible only via nuclear scintigraphy.
