They should start with his liver. That seems to be a problem area (i.e. Devil May Care, Uncle Mo..)

I don't know if it's the liver or something else non-racing related but Pletcher might do well to have a doctor from the CDC on staff.

Read this in B Livingston's blog on DRF apparently this TAP has a super sized heart or perhaps his liver is just enormous
Above: Caixa Eletronica (center) toted 127 pounds - not common nowadays - while winning a starter allowance Monday. His rivals carried between 117 and 119 pounds. Afterward, Pletcher assistant Whit Beckman proudly said, "If you had an X-ray on that camera, you'd see a heart as big as a basketball.

Nice horse, that's a shame. Hope it's something fixable. Gotta run the fastest to be able to blow it apart, unfortunately.

When you get the old "I don't know what's wrong with him routine," you start realizing how familiar it all sounds...
Owners catching on yet?

The scintigraphy should be able to show a hot spot other than where they already blistered the glut. Internal blisters are a double-edged sword, it makes people want to keep the horse in work when they should be healing. Here's an article about it with ultrasound pics (I'll try and find some scintigraphy pics) http://www.racingvictoria.net.au/ass...-LWalmsley.pdf Here's a whole bunch of scintigraphy pics of horses w/various problems (the white is the "hot spot" that shows inflammation) P 354-370. http://books.google.com/books?id=MQT...muscle&f=false
