Posted on Monday, December 12th, 2005
Trainer Ron Ellis announced to reporters that 2004 Hollywood Futurity (Gr. I) winner, Declan’s Moon, will resume training soon.
"The results of a nuclear scan came out reasonably clear," said Ellis. "I think we’re good. We’ll ride him under tack for a week and then start jogging."
Declan’s Moon, 2-year-old Eclipse champion of 2004 and unbeaten in five starts, underwent surgery to have a chip removed from his knee following a victory in the Santa Catalina Stakes(gr. II) in March at Santa Anita.
Ellis hoped the gelding would make it back this autumn but stopped with him in early October when a nuclear scan revealed a weakening of the cannon bone on the same leg as the knee surgery. The horse has been stall walking at Hollywood Park for the past two months.
Declan’s Moon was a frontrunner at last year’s Kentucky Derby race but had to withdraw because of his injury.
