While he was close to picking up speed works again, he gave the Mandella team some signs that they needed to slow down. As we reported previously, he was up to galloping two miles on a daily basis, and with that increased intensity his body started to respond differently. He was not moving as fluidly on the track but jogged sound on the road which gave the Mandella team a bit of concern there could be an issue rooting higher up, like a shoulder, but we ensured that area was clear by completing a bone scan on Monday.
This caused your son of Justify to miss two days of training and while his shoulder region was clear, his ankles did show some minor uptake. This is the most common area we find when completing bone scans due to the concussion of training, but the severity is minimal.
It was recommended to ease off for the next two weeks while still remaining in training and he was galloping at a lighter pace this morning.
We'll continue to keep you updated and hope to see him back picking things up in a few weeks.
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.
