A Day to Remember, a son of American Pharoah, had to take a small step back in his training at Santa Anita Park just as he was approaching a full work tab at the track. Thankfully, there is nothing major going on with him, but Mark Glatt thought our son of American Pharoah was just not 100% in his hind left. This is the same leg that was troublesome and led to his turn out following his debut last summer.
Knowing we gave him plenty of time off at the farm, Mark felt fairly confident it wasn’t a recurrence but opted to run him through a nuc scan as a precaution. While the scan returned normal he did have some light up/uptake on his tibia which probably explains the "off" that Mark was seeing.
This is not uncommon with horses coming off of a layoff, especially younger horses like A Day To Remember. It will require a little more patience, but the horse will not have to leave training in the meantime. Mark will jog him for a few weeks and hopefully things can pick back up from there.
