( Content Continues Below Ad ) “There was just a little concern by the 1/ST racing veterinarian team,” Michael Banahan, Godolphin USA’s Director of Bloodstock said by phone, referencing the owner of the Maryland Jockey Club’s Pimlico Race Course. “They thought maybe it was a minor issue with the left hind ankle. You just really couldn’t do proper diagnostics onsite, on the track. So we decided collaboratively that the best thing to do was to bring him down to Rood & Riddle (equine hospital in Lexington) and let Dr. (Larry) Bramlage do a full exam. He was doing great at Pimlico. But that’s the way it goes.“It’s unfortunate, but we know he’s a very talented horse and I’m sure we’ll have big days down the road with him.” Preakness Stakes 2023 Betting Bible Get the Racing Dudes’ 2023 Preakness Stakes Betting Bible, featuring the EXACT race-by-race wagering plans for Aaron Halterman and Jared Welch, the two founders of RacingDudes.com.
