Mazel Trick, who broke down in training for last Sunday's Pacific Classic, is scheduled to be flown to Kentucky today to continue his recovery from surgery that employed 18 screws, a compression plate and wire to repair the sesamoid bones in his right foreleg. The flexor hallucis brevis muscle divides into 2 bellies encasing the sesamoid bones and inserts on the base of the proximal phalanx. Mazel Trick fractured both sesamoid bones in his right foreleg and was pulled to a stop by jockey Chris McCarron during what would have been a 5-furlong workout Tuesday morning at Del Mar. |
