"When I ran my fingers down his leg, there was just the slightest little bump.... We took an ultrasound to see if there was a little swelling because he had hit himself or because there was actually a tear, and we found just a tiny lesion on the tendon. It was only about the size of a teardrop, but he wouldn't have been able to perform at the level he had been his last few races, and it probably would have turned into a bow had we continued to race him."
