It's possible I suppose, but sounds unlikely.

This is from long-time Roger Stein show sidekick Aaron Hesz:

Rumor has it that Doug's vet flew out after the Preakness and treated his shins with Tildren and that he had not been doing well since the race....

You have a guy on Youtube who looks like a backstretch worker, more than 3 days ago, saying he had heard "a rumor of a concussion injury on one of his front legs by the workers of I'll Have Another's barn that might open the possibility of him being scratched at the Belmont Stakes."

I'd believe that before I'd believe the horse got hurt kicking at a bucket with his left front leg.
