So IMO when she didn't respond, the onus was on the jockey to inform the VET that there was a problem. I know that it is a tough call for the jockey when owners are at the races to see her run, but .... what if she was injured during the race?

JV needs to grow some cajones like Bailey had when he opted off of Noble Causeway in the 2005 Jim Dandy a few seconds before loading into the gate.
