"He's back training like a million dollars," Bradley said early Wednesday. "Calvin was just being cautious."
Borel did something virtually identical after a Polytrack race at the Keeneland fall meet with Warrior's Reward, dismounting shortly after the finish before the horse was vanned off. Nothing was found amiss with Warrior's Reward, either.
"I think what happens is sometimes the Polytrack balls up and their action gets a little funny," said Bradley.
Bradley, meanwhile, is headed soon to Gulfstream Park, where he will have 20 horses, including Sam P.
