from Racing Post:
Alan Sherman, assistant trainer to his father, said the ailment was not expected to affect his participation in Saturday's $1.5 million contest.
"He's fine," Alan Sherman said. "He had it going into the Derby and it went away. After he ran in there, it came back a little bit, but it's not a big deal at all."
After the colt coughed, blood work was done and he was scoped and the blister was found. "I don't know how they get them, but a lot of horses get them," Sherman said, comparing it to an itchy throat for a human.
"The horse is completely fine," he added in a statement. "His blood work came back perfect. He coughed about four times today and we got him checked out right away. The blister isn't going to affect him at all; the vet said there were absolutely no other problems, nothing else going on."
