Blue Devil has progressed to galloping a week ahead of schedule. Both farm trainer Susan Montayne and Dr. Smith are very pleased with how well he has been doing since returning to training. Susan expects him to be ready to ship to trainer Steve Asmussen in approximately four to five weeks.
Blue Devil had his 60-day checkup over the weekend. His hind left suspensory ligament is healing well and the fiber pattern is filling in but is not completely healed at the origin. It was recommended by the team at Peterson and Smith that he get rechecked in another 30 days while on paddock turnout (small paddock.)
