Just spoke to Paul Barone, and Ausable Chasm in good shape this morning...
Tired but not listless, which indicates that she was simply short on fitness which was surprising given her bullet at Belmont and overall physical appearance. She ate up last night, and other than two slightly swollen nicks on her back legs, came out of the race in good order.
In the 2nd condition book, there are 6f (Monday, August 16) and 7f (Sunday, August 22) options for Ausable Chasm as a second start...
