No big deal on a normal horse but a big deal on the undefeated Derby favorite.
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?

They were obviously doing an ultrasound to assess the surgery that was covered up...

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.

Only if they found something. They may have been just searching, guessing by the ultimate diagnosis. We don't know. Would be nice if our racing rules were as open as other countries.

Madame Toussad could save them a bunch of money on a legit actor and nobody would notice the difference.
