Undoubtedly. You should go ahead and carve that schedule in stone.

Anyone going to bring up Devil May Care's liver issues and subsequent death?

If he has equine hepatitis, what does that mean for his stud career?

Nothing. It's not a contagious hepatitis.

That's the link I posted above, Steve. They really did a good job spinning this, didn't they?

I've been thinking of her ever since they discussed his symptoms before the Derby. It's pretty ambitious to focus on anything other than his health right now.

As soon as they said "an elevated enzyme" I thought Oh gawd No!

There is no way that this colt races again, and while I know nothing about these things, I fear that the question of his survival at all is up in the air.

I sincerely pray for his recovery.

Did you read somewhere that he might die?

I hope Mo will be ok. Sounds potentially serious to me.

It's not Stay Thirsty's fault. He didn't enter himself in the Derby. If it were up to Thirsty he probably would have entered himself in some nice allowance race. You can't blame the horse for running over his head.

I'm sure Uncle Mo is just fine. I'm sure they made the diagnosis some weeks ago, just delayed the announcement to the public. I'd say he's been treated, he's already responded well, he's gained back the 67 lbs, bloodwork shows it's under control, he's in light work, etc.

It's always possible to have a recrudescence, or an abscess, etc. in the future, but I wouldn't actively worry about it.
