As much as you think it is right to ignore what LaPenta had to say, people who read your last sentence should, by a factor of 10, ask the question, how the hell do you know that?
Of course you don't know. The truth is nether does Zito. And it is far from uimpossible that the need to run the colt and stay on schedule outweighed any concerns about minor conditioning issues.
Frankly, I'm curious under what conditions you think a horse IS NOT adversely affected by a fever a few days prior to his race.
