Grade 1 winner Karelian released from Rood & Riddle

Grade 1 winner Karelian, who sustained a life threatening injury during a workout at Keeneland Race Course on July 17, has been released from Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington.

The eight-year-old Bertrando gelding fractured both right front sesamoid bones, ruptured his suspensory apparatus, and disrupted his lateral collateral ligament, dislocating his fetlock.

Karelian was sent to orthopedic surgeon Larry Bramlage, D.V.M., who performed a fetlock arthrodesis with pastern support augmentation on July 19. The lengthy procedure involves using plates, screws, and polyethylene cable to reconstruct and support the pastern and fetlock.

Karelian progressed well through a series of cast changes and was released to continue his rehabilitation under the care of owner Green Lantern Stables.

“If I handed Karelian a script to follow from the beginning he could not have done better,” Bramlage said. “He responded well to treatment, regained the blood supply to his foot, and has progressed without complications. Though not totally out of the woods, his fetlock joint fusion is progressing well. His pastern support is holding up nicely, and he is getting more comfortable day by day.

“Also importantly the [left front] foot shows no evidence of overload laminitis, which we always worry about. This is truly a humanitarian mission for his owners.  He was good to them and they are just anxious to have him around to live out his days in his home paddock. On occasion people demonstrate a lack of compassion for their horses. More often they demonstrate profound caring, and compassion. Karelian is a wonderful demonstration of the owners love for their horse.”

Karelian, out of the Theatrical (Ire) mare Leaning Tower, was bred in Kentucky by his owner. Karelian won ten of 22 career starts and earned $788,675.

In addition to his win in the Maker’s Mark Mile Stakes (G1) at Keeneland on April 9 (video), he won the 2008 River City Handicap (G3) and defeated dual champion Gio Ponti on February 20 at Tampa Bay Downs in the Tampa Bay Stakes (video).

I thank his owners for saving him, out of love and not greed. Wish more owners were like them. I wish him a long and happy retirement, that he deserves!
