Well, we have another setback. After returning to trackside from Ellis Park, Randy decided to have Techy's tendon ultra sounded. Although the vet had told him that it was fine, Randy felt that there was still a problem. The ultra sound found a small tear on the inside corner of the tendon. Randy said that it was just very small, and that with the proper rest, and time of to heal, it really should not be a problem. Techy is to have 6 months off, and will be able to resume training in February. She is staying at the track for 1 month, and then will probably be moved to La Croix Farm in La Grange.
Although it is very disappointing, as we were so close to racing, most horses don't make it to the races as two year olds. The time off will give her time to grow and develope, and she should come back better than ever.
Please contact me with any questions you may have. Also, I have the ultra sound photos if anyone is interested in seeing them.
We are currently without power, but I will try to check my emails at work. My cell # is (502) 550-7418. Also, I will try to get a financial statement out to everyone by the end of the week. We had just enough money to cover Techy's bills through August, but will not have enough to cover her from here on out.
