Surgery For Derby Winner


Recommended Posts

Levendi (Aus) (Pierro {Aus}), winner of the G1 Australian Derby on Apr. 7, will undergo surgery to remove bone chips, according to Racing.com. The colt would have been expected to target the key middle distance or staying races in the spring, but a campaign will hinge on how he recovers, said trainer Peter Gelagotis.

“Unfortunately Levendi will undergo arthroscopy surgery to remove bone chips,” Gelagotis said in a statement. “He will be in the best hands at Werribee Equine Centre and naturally this could put his spring campaign on hold depending on the recovery time required from this procedure. Naturally the horse’s welfare and interest come first and we appreciate the public support over the last six months, which has seen Levendi elevate himself to the premier staying 3-year-old in Australia.”
