He said he can't tell if the injury is old or new. What might have happened is that he hurt the cannon bone when he hurt his knee, but we didn't know it.

Maybe he hadn't healed all the way and he could still feel it.

The most frustrating thing for a trainer is when you know a horse has ability but doesn't put the effort forward. But that's our job, to make them want to do it.

If he doesn't, anybody's eligible to win.
