JB,
I would guess that like 15 derby hores have some issue, minor and upwards,requiring maintenance. Since they all had their final work,think galloping this week should give some mini hint of soundness.If they gallop sound, you gotta think they're ok going in. Any horse can "blow a tire" once the gate opens.
So fyi, and think its meaningless but, AP wears a plate with what looks like an egg bar and had a suspensory.Asked someone who sees him regularly if there were signs that he was pinfired, could not tell.
Dortmund is stiff on occasion in the am and rerportedly has feet issues.
Firing Line was off a little in Feb/Mar was shock waved and who knows about the rest?
