It was 1/9 this colt was finished. He never sees the track again gets retired to a stud farm and I you know it because we have seen play out the same way for years. I just don't hate on Pletcher to be a jerk. I realize he has only a handful of equals and is a world class professional. All that aside his horses run great until they don't and once they sour its Sabbath Shalom.

It'll be frustrating if it plays out that way and yes, the A.P. Arrow's are few and far between with Pletcher. Back to GoldMark in Ocala for now: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...iss-bc-classic

I'm trying to figure out what a "minor" shin injury could be for a 4 year old.

I'm always amused at how "minor" all the injuries are. As I said the only injury that an older horse's shin could have that would be relatively minor would be a cut of some sort which wouldn't necessitate shipping back to Florida to asses the situation.
