That adage is believed by many.
This injury, if it's true, could have occurred because of a number of things that are not even related to being out on the track, a bad reaction to a shot or even a bandage applied the wrong way. Without knowing all the details I tend to believe this is a real injury. Racing is all about the money & while this horse will have a substantial stud fee right now it would have doubled or even tripled with participation in this race.
