Monday afternoon update
From article at http://www.drf.com/news/giant-ryans-...ry-pushed-back

Giant Ryan’s surgery to repair the severe injuries he sustained during the running of Saturday’s Grade 2 True North Handicap at Belmont Park has been postponed from Monday to Thursday at the earliest, owner Shivananda Parbhoo reported Tuesday.

“As of now the operation has been delayed until they can improve the blood flow in Giant Ryan’s leg,” said Parbhoo, whose father, Bisnath Parboo, trains the horse. “The doctors said they need to break up some blood clots in the leg that are causing the problem. They are treating Ryan with medication and are hoping the issue can be resolved within the next two days.”

“Once the blood flow is good, that’s the whole key right now,” said Parbhoo. “If the doctors can get that resolved, they seem confident the surgery on his leg will be successful.”
Reports that Giant Ryan had already been euthanized appeared on the New York State Racing and Wagering Board’s website on Monday. Parbhoo said he only learned of the erroneous reports early Tuesday afternoon.
