On Monday, I Want Reveng will undergo an MRI exam at the Rood & Riddle Equine Clinic in Lexington in the hopes it will reveal the scope and severity of the colt’s injury.

They pretty much know what's wrong with him. He's got a strain of the suspensory ligament. There is no tear. It's just a strain. It's the kind of thing where he should be fine if they just give him a little time. He'll probably need somewhere between 30-60 days. It is the kind of injury that is no big deal as long as you stop on the horse. If they went on with the horse, he would end up with a tear and his career would be over.
