BREEDERS' CUP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPSOctober 27, 2001C. Wayne McIlwraithELMONT, NEW YORK ERIC WING: Unfortunately, or fortunately from their perspective, Aidan O'Brien and Michael Kinane and Michael Tabor all have a horse in this race, Milan. We won't be able to visit with them just now. We hope it will be the case with them, as with Bobby Frankel to have them here some point after the Breeders' Cup's Classic. In the meantime, to give us an update on the status of Jump Start who was pulled up shortly after the race. We have here once again Dr. C. Wayne McIlwraith the on-call veterinarian from the AAEP. Dr. McIlwraith, can you give us the status of Jump Start's condition right now? DR. C. WAYNE McILWRAITH: Yes, Jump Start was pulled up and has a swollen left front fetlock joint and ankle, he was taken off in the ambulance for radiographs, so is currently getting x-rayed. Q. Could you repeat the medical condition? DR. C. WAYNE McILWRAITH: He's got a swollen left front fetlock joint. And so there's a good possibility of a fracture and so he's getting x-rayed back at the barn. Q. Thank you. ERIC WING: Is this a -- is it too early to tell, is this a career-ending injury at this point or do we need to wait for the results of the x-rays? DR. C. WAYNE McILWRAITH: We need to wait for the results of the x-rays, but it would appear -- it would certainly not be life-threatening, but it could be depending on the degree of fracture. ERIC WING: Any questions for Dr. McIlwraith? Once again, thank you very much. DR. C. WAYNE McILWRAITH: Thank you. End of FastScripts... |
