Shock wave therapy is a legal non invasive procedure used on horses to enhance healing/treating of tendons and many other things.
A horse that receives this therapy cannot race for 10 days and must go on the vets list for that time.In Cali, you can go to the published vets list and see any horse on it.
Today, some outfits use it as sort of in between maintenance. Would not read too much into this except FL was reportedly treated twice in the 6 weeks between starts.If I was going to gamble on him I would not let that stop me. I'll bet many top derby prospects are being given preventive type maintenance.
