Just A Strain
Sunset Crusade's fans will be pleased to know that the colt is going to be just fine. Cruze, as he is called affectionately, overstretched his off fore while galloping down to the wire, subsequently slipping and nearly falling. His rider Marissa Star was interviewed, and had this to say. Fortunately, Cruze's injury is not as bad as we first feared. He was examined by the vet last week after the race and it turns out it was just a strain. He's had stall rest since the race, and now he's back doing some light exercise. We'll be able to gallop him next week. There you have it. As for Sunset Crusade's plans for this season, Marissa didn't let much slip. But she did say that we'll be seeing Cruze in the winner's circle again very soon.
