Springside Update: Surgery Successful
Just spoke with Josie Carroll... SPRINGSIDE, who suffered multiple fractures of the pastern Saturday after the Demoiselle (Gr. II) finish, has come out of surgery at New Bolton successfully. Infection is the biggest risk she faces immediately, but the vet team and Carroll are optimistic.
Carroll explained that the injury happened as Springside changed leads on the gallop out and took a bad step. She credits Garrett Gomez with hearing the 'pop' and reacting instantly to jump off and stop the Awesome Again filly from further damaging the limb. She expressed her appreciation for everyone's concern and well wishes. She'll be on ATR this week when they feel the filly is 'out of the woods'...
