To me - the real story in all of this - is that Presque Isle's morning line maker made the horse coming off of a 7-year-layoff 3/1 on the morning line.

It’s safe to say it’s very unusual for a 10-year-old pregnant Thoroughbred mare that hasn’t raced in seven years to return to training.

But after Pennsylvania-based owner-trainer Andrew Davidovich’s mare Violet Eyed Diva, who is 2 1/2 months pregnant to his farm stallion Draft Age (by Storm Cat), was entered in a July 1 claiming race at Presque Isle Downs & Casino but then scratched by stewards, Davidovich began working to prove his mare was in fact healthy enough to race and deserved to make a comeback in spite of the extraordinary circumstances.

According to Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission officials, though Davidovich presented a compelling argument in the form of a letter stating the details behind the mare’s strong training and positive veterinary exams, regulators want to take a closer look before approving the mare to race at the Erie track.

I gather they might just "take a closer look" for awhile til he gives up and takes her back home.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Whatsthescript's return to the races after his stint as a sire covering 26 broodmares. Bertrando?
