Yet Another Setback

Published: June 20, 2009 01:25 pm EDT

Sometimes this game is very tough and we are certainly experiencing that this year.

Still though, as I have previously stated, we certainly can't complain after last year's experience.

Shadow trained super one trip yesterday at noon time after I got off the plane, but with the slight change in routine, the high humidity yesterday and the several days off previously for his LF foot problem, he tied up shortly after being bathed. His muscle enzyme count (CK) was over 21,000 about two hours later, so unfortunately, Shadow will be scratched tonight.

An update on next week will be provided after we see how things go for the next few days.

Hey Doc, i just wanted to ask, kind of what happend to shadow in the ben frank, he raced good and all but is he still a bit sore inhis feet he looked a littlle rough gated even comming home if you watch the replays he was not quite as kleen going as he was last year

Jack Darling was saying the exact same thing about St Lad's Popcorn.
She will miss the Fan Hanover becuase she tied up. He was wondering if there is a spike everytime the weather gets like this.

Too bad. Hopefully Shadow Play feels better.
Still looking forward to watching him race.

Thanks for the update, Ian. Best of luck in preparation for the Des Smith.
