News courtesy of the Paulick report that Animal Kingdom will miss the rest of this year's racing season due to a recently discovered slab fracture above the small fissure previously discovered after the Belmont.
That initial crack, believed to have been a result of a collision at the start with Mucho Macho Man, was just going to require rest and another set of x-rays to see how it was healing. That second set revealed the additional fracture which will require a pin to be inserted.
Dean Richardson will do the honors today at New Bolton Center, after which Animal Kingdom is expected to return to Fair Hill where he will rest and begin rehabilitation including work on an underwater treadmill.
Plans are for the horse to begin training in about three months with the long range goal of competing in the World Cup in Dubai in late March. That is, of course, assuming all proceeds according to plan.
Let's hope we do indeed get to see this brilliant horse back on the track as a four year old.
