Our 2-year-old colt has returned to routine training and is doing well. Keith reported that his knees were X-rayed on May 5th, and were nearing being closed. An additional set of X-rays will be taken towards the beginning of June. Keith expects for his knees to be fully closed at that time and explained when you see the progress his knees made in the most recent X-ray it usually doesn’t take much longer for them to fully close but every horse is different and we will continue to monitor this before he ships to trainer Steve Asmussen’s barn.
Our colt has been back in training but hasn’t started any serious speed work. Keith mentioned he is going to allow him to work a bit tomorrow, Saturday, May 20th.
He'd like to get three works into the colt before taking that additional X-ray in early June and will determine at that time if he is ready to ship to Steve's barn.
We'll keep you posted on any updates.
