Magnum Moon Still Recovering
Even after undergoing treatment for the last four and half months, Arkansas Derby winner Magnum Moon is still going through the recovery process at Cornell Ruffian Equine Specialists.
In June, Jacob West, the bloodstock agent and racing manager for owners Robert and Lawana Low had said Magnum Moon sustained a "structural injury" to one of his front legs, and the colt has been housed at Cornell Ruffian, which sits across the street from Belmont, since his injury.
"He's just stable at this point in time," West said. "As I said (in June), we've got a million hurdles to jump, and he's jumping them. He's doing his part, and the vets at Cornell are doing their part. They've been amazing."
It's doubtful he'll be ready for the 2019 breeding season.
The erstwhile Todd Pletcher trainee has earned over US$1,17m in prize money and several prestigious plaudits during his racing career.
