Our daughter of red-hot freshman sire Vekoma was recently taken out of training for some heat in her leg. Trainer Jena Antonucci went ahead and had Nakoma's tendon scanned this morning and the findings were what we would hope for--she has no lesion or any notable damage or injury. She's just going through a growth spurt and needs some time to allow her body to catch up so as to avoid an actual injury.
The short version is that Nakoma will remain in the barn in Saratoga, but they'll back off on her training for the next 30 days or so. Patience is the name of the game with these young horses, and Nakoma's in great and attentive hands.
We just want to state again, that we are so glad this promising filly is in Jena's barn where she's getting daily hands-on observation by her talented and knowledgeable trainer. It's the reason a possible issue was caught before it developed into a major setback. Thank you, Jena! :D
