that was the part that caught my eye. why does this spell the end for his career??? he's not a highly bred horse. i haven't seen the clamor for him like i have in the past with other horses...so why would may of his 3 yo season be the end?

Is this insider scoop from for the Justice League of Extraordinary Veterinarians?

Because according to every major news outlet covering this, it apprears that it is bowed, but there has been no official diagnosis yet.

If you know more about this than Ray Paulick, shoot him an email - he hates getting scooped.

Are you serious? There has been an "official diagnosis" announced, which was that via ultrasound they have found there is mild tendon inflammation, "tendinitis".

Which is certainly not the same thing as a bowed tendon.

Who has wrongly called it a bowed tendon? The horse was out for all to see today - there's no bow.

Here's the Paulick Report you are quoting. You might try actually reading it.

Quote:
O'Neill said he noticed a "lack of definition in the left front leg" yesterday and wrapped his leg overnight. The trainer gave I'll Have Another an easy gallop around the track this morning. "He trained great this morning," said O'Neill but added there was some inflammation afterwards. "Could he run and compete? Yes. Would it be in his best interests? No."

"It's not like he had an injury and Doug took him out for a test drive," said Reddam defending his trainer.

Veternarian Dr. Larry Bramlage told the Paulick Report it was an early diagnosis of tendonitis to the superficial flexor tendon of the left front. He described it as not severe.
That is not a bowed tendon.

i wasn't bummed at all, til just now reading the latest on bh. he could return in 3-6 months but

'he's done so much'....no, he hasn't. it's a shame, this more than anything, about racing any more. you win a couple races, and off you go.
i guess there's no point bewailing the current scheme of things....but i feel that less than 10 starts in a career hampers this sport. there's no horse to build up a following-the ones that do get fans only run a few times a year, not enough to keep fans coming back, to get fans 'hooked' on the sport.
bah
