Where exactly do I give specifics about any potential injury to the horse? You were the one who said that a chip fracture or OCD (?) wouldnt be fatal, as those were the most likely possible injuries.
I never said that the horse would breakdown or even get injured. My point is that the circumstances surrounding his retirement and subsequent return to the races are unusual at best. That IF he were to breakdown or be involved with an ugly injury it would be a huge negative for the sport in general and particularly so because of his announced retirement and return at an advanced age. Because of his advanced age this comeback faces even greater odds because despite the stem cell work on his ankles the rest of his legs and body are still 9 years old, and despite whatever drivel KG comes up with a nine year old horse is still far more likely to have a catastrophic injury than a young horse.
But all that seemingly escaped you. As ususal.
