DRF posted this update this afternoon:  at Belmont, awaiting surgery later this week.   They have to get him to New Bolton somehow.

What a shame it couldn\'t be repaired.  Condolences to the connections, they are very sad about this.

Checked Twitter:  9 hours ago (this morning) DRF Mike Welsch tweeted, \"Giant Ryan at New Bolton will have surgery early this afternoon.  Made 4 plus hour van ride like a champ said Parbhoo.\"

Could be that during surgery it was not found to be repairable.  Better would be that it was repaired, and NYRA website is wrong.  There is no time stamp on the site, other than today\'s date.

It was a terrible injury and the odds are long against the horse surviving it, but as of Monday at 8pm the NYRA report that he was euthanized is not correct.

Sight,

The NYSRWB has the overall responsibility for administering racing in NY,yet does not even know when a horse has been put down.

Speaks volumes about the incompetency of which we all discuss here as it relates to those running the game.

\"According to Dr. Larry Bramlage, American Association of Equine Practitioners, X-rays show that Giant Ryan fractured both left front sesamoids and sustained ligament damage in back of his left front ankle\"

Sight,

Why does it mainly seem like fractures are of the sesamoids?

Giant Ryan is at New Bolton, but no surgery until the blood supply can be restored. As I said, it\'s a longshot, but hope for the best for this horse.

Giant Ryan surgery on hold
