from thoroughbred times:
Brother Derek to undergo precautionary tests
Santa Anita Derby (G1) winner Brother Derek will receive a break in training after running in the first two legs of the Triple Crown and will undergo a series of tests next week to determine when he should resume running.
"He's doing really good," said trainer Dan Hendricks on Friday afternoon. "We're going to freshen him for a certain amount of time, whether it's two weeks or two months. We want to nuclear scan him because you never know if there's anything underlying that isn't showing up. It's just a precautionary measure."
Cecil Peacock's Brother Derek finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby (G1) and the Preakness Stakes (G1). He has won six of ten career starts and earned $1,302,080.
The $400,000 Swaps Breeders' Cup Stakes (G2) at Hollywood Park on July 8 would be Brother Derek's earliest return, but Hendricks said that race will probably come up too soon.
"After that is Del Mar, but that's older horses and two-year-olds, so we may have to look at the Haskell Invitational Handicap (G1) [on August 6] or the Travers [Stakes (G1) on August 26] Hendricks said. "His long term goal is to stay with three-year-olds."
Hendricks said Brother Derek scratched his nose on the starting gate when he reacted to Barbaro's false start in the Preakness.
"He scratched his nose on the gate when Barbaro busted through, but really that's the worst of it," Hendricks said. "The Triple Crown is grueling, but he's held his weight really well. We feel he was a pretty fresh horse going in."—Pete Denk
sounds to me like they are looking for a reason to say lets send him to the shed, we have seen these articles before, where they think something might be wrong,
it a prelude to saying, hs will retire soon.
