Other than Twitter, are there any real sources? Twitter accounts have been known to get hacked pretty frequently.

OK. My post was a gut reaction. I don't really know if it really had anything to do with it but I've read from O'Neil saying that IHA must have... "whacked himself". The horse was in an enviroment that the trainer didn't want him to be.
You seem like a gambling man. I'll bet you $100 that Belmont doesn't do the detention barn thing again for the Belmont Stakes. Are we on?

The trainers have complained from the very beginning about the detention barn. To stick 12 horses into tight confines. Who's not to say he got whacked by another horse or spooked by one. Hopefully it is not the case but I guess the press conference will reveal more.

he probably rapped himself on the track during his gallop.

No deal. Chances are, that if you continue to make asinine comments like your original one, you'll be darted before next years Belmont anyway.

Another brilliant post. You think the detention barn caused him to hurt a tendon?

This ranks with the dumbest posts I have seen on this forum to date and that is not an easy accomplishment.
