If thoroughbred has been training and racing regularly is gelded how long recovery time, meaning when can he start working and racing again?

They can sometimes go back into training the next day and its actually good to get them moving afterwards. generally 30-45 days to race....unexpert opinion though

Usually only get a few days off from exercise. Most are back in regular training pretty quick. While i wouldn't run one back after gelding for 30 days to let the area heal up fully and regenerate the fluid/blood loss I know some guys dont wait that long.

i can relate to that.

a guy who works with my husband recently had a vasectomy. they told him to go back to work that monday. at some point that morning he was really hurting...went into the electric shop, opened the freezer, grabbed a freezer pop, and stuck it in his pants.
of course everyone was laughing at him. a few minutes goes by, he's feeling better, they're all chatting. suddenly he starts yelling 'oh, sh**' over and over, jumping up, reaching down his pants.
the freezer pop had a hole in the package, it leaked all over him. yeah, he'll never live that down. had orange popsicle in his crotch the rest of the day.
