Dr. Larry Bramlage of Rood and Riddle performed a bone scan that revealed the injury.

“A bone scan revealed marked activity in all four cannon bones,” said Bramlage. “The left front fetlock has the most radiographic change with a major bruise on the cannon bone. Once these are resolved, the horse should return to his previous form.”

SS has never run a race on an artificial surface, either.

If he had recently, you can be sure there would be much finger pointing. :rolleyes:
