Triple Crown Winner Justify To Be Evaluated for Ankle Filling

Justify (Scat Daddy), undefeated winner of this year’s Triple Crown, will be evaluated for some filling in his left front ankle, trainer Bob Baffert said Tuesday.

“Justify had some filling in his left front ankle a week ago, which subsided in a couple days,” said trainer Bob Baffert. “I trained him last week and the filling came back. We want to get him checked out.”

Justify did not appear on the racetrack during the latter half of last week, but had been in full training at Santa Anita preparing for a late summer campaign.

“To go from a maiden winner in February to an undefeated Triple Crown winner in June has been an incredible ride,” said Elliott Walden, WinStar Farm’s president/CEO and racing manager. “He is too special to the owners, our team, and all the fans he has around the world to not be 100% healthy. As far as any future plans for him, they will be decided after we get him checked out. He is an amazing horse, and we are blessed by his presence.”
