No significant ankle problems for Drosselmeyer

WinStar Farm’s Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Drosselmeyer will be turned out for 60 days and then resume training after a bone scan revealed no significant ankle problems.

“There were just several general hot spots that came up, not any one thing or any one spot,” WinStar Racing Manager Elliott Walden said on Sunday. “We’re very thankful [the scan] showed nothing serious.”

Trainer Bill Mott said the chestnut Distorted Humor colt came out a four-furlong workout on July 4 at Belmont Park—his first since capturing the final leg of the Triple Crown on June 5 (video)—with some soreness, but a radiograph showed no fractures. The bone scan was done on Saturday at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington.

Walden said the colt probably would resume training in the fall and be pointed toward the Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1) next season.

Drosselmeyer is a nice horse and I am glad he will be back to the races. I still can't figure out how he won the Belmont, other than the super slow pace. He really outran his pedigree. Bill Mott did a wonderful job getting this horse ready to go 1 1/2 miles. Dubai might be a stretch, but you never know.

Great! I'm glad it's nothing too severe. He's such a gorgeous horse and I hope he does well. It'd be cool to see him in the Dubai World Cup! Good luck Drosselmeyer!
