Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 7 Journalists Posted April 7 Multiple Grade I-placed 'TDN Rising Star' Ferocious (Flatter) has succumbed to laminitis after being sidelined with a foreleg injury, the connections announced Monday afternoon on X. Twice a runner-up at the highest level in the GI Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga and the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland in 2024, the son of Flatter emerged from his fourth place in the GIII Holy Bull Stakes Feb. 1 with a muscle tear. When first reported, the connections said it was a minor injury that just required time to heal, but also included that the time frame would knock him off the Triple Crown trail. At some point afterward, the connections say he suffered from a 'terrible' cellulitis infection before ultimately losing his battle with laminitis. “RIP Ferocious,” tweeted Ramiro Restrepo. “Talented, gorgeous, and noble. Loved by your partners, we never got to see you fulfill your true potential.” “Sidelined due to a very unique foreleg injury suffered in his last race, along with a terrible cellulitis infection. Ultimately succumbing to Laminitis today.” The post Ferocious Succumbs to Laminitis After Foreleg Injury appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
