I always wondered what the deal was with them running front wraps on Bluegrass Cat for the Travers. First time front wraps. Not a good sign. Not like Pletcher was trying make other trainers guess in a nickel claimer or something.
When I saw the early fractions in the Travers I knew it was trouble. A healthy BC would have run better than that. Comes out of it with a fracture. Something sure doesn't add up with that picture.
Thankfully he survived it. And good for him that he's getting $50k. If his offspring are as game as he was we have something to look forward to.
