Seriously,
Any vets or trainers who can explain the shaved area? For what reason is that area normally shaved? http://www.flickr.com/photos/easygoer/5606219087

Trainers and vets are correct and admirable to keep what's going on with their horses absolutely, completely private. Only the owners can legally release information. A vet can't even verify a particular animal has been admitted or seen.
When you walk through a vet hospital (if you are alllowed back there, accompanied) any names you see on stalls are often aliases. I've seen entire owner & horse aliases, too, on charts, to protect privacy of an ownership group or horse from talkative techs and stall cleaners. When you purchase a horse privately, you are responsible for having your vet suss out any problems. The seller and seller's vet is required to tell you nothing (but cannot outright lie, you can get them for that). With stock that can be sold for hundreds of thousands, millions, of dollars, you bet the trainer, help, and vet better keep private things private. That said: I wish the US would change and become more like Japan, Australia, regarding what information has to be released and accounted for to the gambling public. Far greater accountability elsewhere.

Don't you think that an issue that warranted an ultrasound or joint injection of any kind is a pretty significant at this point especially considering the horses abnormally light racing and training schedule?

 Three pages of discussion and a million all over the web. Has anyone had the guts to just ask Pletcher?? I don't believe anything happened, but what do I know. Even if he lied about it, I'd like to put him in a position to squirm a little.

 Look more closely on a daily basis. Very common. It's just that the Derby horses are the only ones that get this kind of attention from the general public.
