There's no way to tell from a picture. But from the shape of the scratch, it looks more like a scratch than a structural crack. I'd continue riding it, but keep a close eye on it if I suspected it was a crack. Mark the ends, or touch it up exactly up to the end, and see if it grows. If not you're good to go until it does (if ever)
