The gate incident and a bunch of other things were discussed on TVG after the race yesterday. Both Frank Lyons and Simon Bray said that if anything was amiss after Barbaro broke through the gate, Prado would have noticed it when he jogged the horse back to the gate. Jogging the horse is a more reliable way of detecting a problem than having a vet take a perfunctory peek.

They also played the clip of Prado looking back at the horse's hind end while the horse was being walked to the gate. Again, Lyons and Bray agreed that if Prado was really concerned, he would have asked the outrider to jog the horse. They speculated that, among other possibilities, Prado might have been looking to see if a fly was bothering the horse.

This whole process of waiting for news and fearing the worst brings back powerful memories of Ruffian.
