Danon Bourbon: The 3-year-old colt who put up a strong fight to finish fifth in the Kentucky Derby, has been found to have a fracture in his knee.
Trainer Ikezoe stated, the fracture in his knee was discovered after the Kentucky Derby. After returning to Japan, he underwent further X-rays and completed quarantine at the Japan Racing School.
He will now proceed to the Shadai Clinic in Hokkaido for surgery to remove the bone fragments.
The timing of his return is undecided, as it depends on the results of the surgery and subsequent rehabilitation, but we believe he will focus on resting for the remainder of the year.
