Wax Poetic had stepped on herself in the break in her race on Sunday. We kept it clean and it appears to be healing well.
What we hadn't noticed until later was that she was apparently also stepped on in the scramble of the break. Her left front foot on the outside was stepped on which may have caused her to step on her right front there on the inside.
Looking at the replay in the gates she was not standing with all four feet on the ground. The starter tries to have everyone like that but it can be difficult with these two year olds.
I think this injury is going to take a little more time to heal since the hoof wall was compressed and the interior laminae need to rebuild. It had been a possibility to go back again this Sunday but with this issue I think she needs a little more time.
