After Disdainful cast in his stall prior to the Grade 3 Cecil B. DeMille Stakes at Del Mar last week, he has been gone over with a fine tooth comb to assess any potential injuries or setbacks.
The results? Disdainful has a bruised pelvis.
This is about as best case scenario as we could get, and not a major setback, but he will need some time off to rest, recuperate, and thoroughly heal before returning to the track.
Disdainful has been sent to a farm in Southern California where he is expected to get up to 60 days of rest before he is re-evaluated prior to returning to training just to ensure he has had all the time he needs to properly heel.
As always, the welfare of the horse is always our first priority and we expect this time off may end up being a blessing in disguise as it will allow Disdainful to grow and mature and hopefully return as an even better 3YO this coming spring.
We'll keep you posted as we get further reports.
