A. U. Miner, the 3-1 second choice in the Breeders’ Cup Marathon (gr. II), is recovering from successful surgery to repair broken sesamoids sustained during the 1 3/4 mile race at Churchill Downs Nov. 5. A. U. Miner was seeking to defend his 2010 Marathon title when he was injured.
Trainer Clark Hanna said Nov. 9 that the 6-year-old son of Mineshaft is wearing a brace on his left leg after the Nov. 7 surgery at the Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington to repair the damage to the left front fetlock joint.
“The surgery was a success and everything is going well as of now; we’re going to be optimistic and hope for the best,” Hanna said.
