To quote Dr. Bramlage, "He had nine hard races in eight months, and this kind of accumulated inflammation is why athletes can't stay at a peak every time."

Do you notice that he mentioned the number of races and the time period that those races were run in? He mentioned that for a reason. It's not uncommon for horses to come out of races with inflammation. But if you give them time to recover, the inflammation usually goes down. If you have to keep running the horse back on short rest, that inflammation can become chronic.
