An MRI revealed significant damage to a sesamoid ligament in the left front leg of Wood Memorial Stakes (G1) winner I Want Revenge.
Foster Northrop, D.V.M., said the injury to the oblique sesamoidian ligament is career-threatening.
“[With] these kind of injuries, part of the prognosis depends on how they heal in the next two or three months,” Northrop said. “If he heals well, then he’ll go back into training. If he doesn’t, then his career is probably over. It’s a serious injury of a very important structure. It’s not good news.”
