what makes you the judge of what this horse can and can't do.

Where is there any judgement in Whirlaway's post? Some people's reading comprehension is really suspect.

I quoted the owner here, Mr. Reddam. His statement is made in the final minutes of the video.

Did I say Whirlaway? , georgez .. Your right George z -- SOME peoples reading comprehension is QUESTIONABLE.

How can you say that your post was not directed to Whirlaway? If you wanted another "subject" for your comment, you should have named it. Just basic rules of composition.

Ditto. I can't imagine any other way to have interpreted that post.

You are playing Russian Roulette running with soft tissue concerns of any type.

Does 'tendonitis' really mean 'bow'?

Hi Jolt,
Tendinitis is the first warning signs of tendon inflammation. If you don't head the warning it could turn into a full blown bow. TJ

Sid Fernando provides an insight into how Majestic Prince attempted to win the Belmont and the Triple Crown despite having a tendon problem. In this case the source is reported to be Bill Hartack, the horse's jockey.

Tendonitis is a nasty, nagging ailment, as I can testify thanks to an ankle that hasn't cleared up in over five months since initially flaring up -- not a sprain, just a standard-issue overuse issue. The problem is getting the inflammation completely down when 100% rest of the affected limb isn't possible. Rest and cold bring it down, but any kind of exertion brings it right back up; you have to get the affected tendon completely cooled down and the underlying micro-injuries cleared up to keep the problem from recurring. Fortunately, I don't have to do anything but walk, so the worst I have to deal with is a little discomfort. Unfortunately, I have to walk quite a bit, so the problem continues. I can imagine it would be a lot worse for a horse between the greater weight and the greater stresses caused by increased speed.

Informative post, thanks.

I was watchin' that Seabiscuit movie the other day (again . . . ) and I found it interesting that Seabiscuit completely ruptured his tendon and then came back some nine months later to win the Santa Anita Derby. At that time "he had run the second-fastest mile and a quarter in American racing history" the horse was seven years old - the data indicates he raced 89 times, 35 times as a two year old.

I'll Have Another gets tendonitis and is retired, he raced seven times.

I see you are there in Lake City, Fl. I've spent time there and have passed through there on many occasion. Hope you fared well during the recent rains and flooding.
