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?

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.

I think that's a well-written article.

The American racing public would freak if it knew it was betting on a field of horses that had these histories, below - even though they are indeed doing so on a daily basis without knowing.

I do wish we were more open in our histories of horses we gamble upon, but I don't know how to go about that with the way racing is run in this country.

Considering all the below horses have had their conditions resolved and have passed the vet and will be running, how would people, as gamblers, change their bets if given the below information about American horses? This is from the public past performance information on just one field of horses, one race.

Unacceptable performance.
Lame left hind: fractured lateral splint.
Substantial blood in the trachea after racing.
