Here's a statement from Dr. Larry Bramlage, the attending veterinarian: "He's been X-rayed and he has fractures above and below the ankle. His career is over. This is it for him as a racehorse. We're trying to save him as a stallion. He didn't get to expend his energy, so he's still full of energy. You would like to settle the horse down and get him ready for surgery. There's some major hurdles here. He has to be stabilized. We're looking at a long surgery that will take hours."
Thanks so much for the update. We can only hope for the best.
I heard that. He also said that the extent of soft tissue/blood vessel damage could determine whether he survives this. Too bad.
Thanks for the update. I'm not a racing fan, but I HATE to see such a beautiful, spirited animal, get injured like this.
