I read on another board that it appears (per a publicist) that Bluegrass Cat kicked his stall in the middle of the night and that's what caused his injury. Obviously without an official quote, we have to take it with a grain (lots of grains) of salt...............
So are we now saying that Todd ran an unsound horse in the Travers? If he was not at his physical best, shouldn't he have scratched BC? I'm not buying the 3 weeks rest excuse - one week shouldn't make 8 lengths difference in a performance. BC just isn't as good as Bernardini. That being said, the horse ran a very commendable race and lost because he ran into a monster. If he was truly to tired to put in a representative effort, he wouldn't have run as well.
