Injury leaves 2YO off for a couple of weeks
Swift Strides' pride and joy two year old filly, Love Forty Down raced over six furlongs in the Wire's Something Original Cup. The filly was leading until the final furlong when she suddenly tripped - this trip cost her the race, she placed second by a nose to Russian Agent. Coming off the track it was noted that the filly had ripped a shoe off coming out of the starting gate, which caused strain to her offside foreleg. She was pulled up yards after the wire lame. Her jockey jumped off and instantly knew something wasn't right.
The vet assisted and said that it's only minor, she should be okay to work again around April Week 2. For now, plenty of walking, heat wraps and bandaged leg to offer support.
