ANY chance that's what went wrong today? Running a horse on withdrawal from juice?

No. If Dutrow was giving a once a month dosage there is no withdrawl and absolutely no effect either way. There is almost certainly an abcess in his foot or a stress fracture somewhere. The steroids thing is totally overblown.
