Exceedingly odd injury that had 2 vets scratching their heads. By the time she pulled up limping badly, there was a tennis ball sized knot on her ankle. Upon examination, there was no tendon or suspensory problem and no apparent bone compromise. The knot was hard to the touch. The state vet told Gary he had never, in 15 years on the track, seen something like it before. She was being iced later at the barn when Tina and I got to the car and the swelling had gone down. Will know more today.
