The one horse who's reported issue that really ran a stinker was Upstart, who received antibiotics. I was off him completely until I saw him sitting there at 32-1. Apparently I wasn't the only one as he went off at 15-1, which is a number I wouldn't have been as excited about betting.

Uh, what?

AP has a quarter crack?

I don't believe Upstart missing a workout and getting antibiotics was any secret either.

Yeah, I recall that about Upstart. No clue on the crack though.

I just Googled American Pharoah and quarter crack. Zayats other horse had the beginnings of one, but not a single blip about one for AP.

He had a special shoe on that was covered extensively by DRF.

That was on for all his races this year.
