Lots of horses do come back from tendon injuries. Not horses that are worth $1.8 million though.
If she had an injury there is a good chance she wont return to the races w/ the same ability and worth. She is worth much more in the breeding shed, and she has already made $1.8 mil in 07.
If I owned nice expensive horses like that and one came back with an injury after being a Grade I winner, no doubt she goes to the farm to begin her new career.
On another note, I know how important 2yo racing is to the industry, but I really do not agree with running horses before thier bones are completely formed (aka 2yo's). They should run the triple crown late in the 3yo season!
