Lady Eli has laminitis

Lady Eli has developed laminitis in her front feet, according to trainer Chad Brown.

Brown said she is in stable and guarded condition at Belmont Park.

Brown said Lady Eli stepped on a nail walking back from test barn to his barn at Belmont following her victory in July 4 Belmont Oaks.

“Despite our efforts, including a talented team of veterinarians, Lady Eli’s injury has led to her developing laminitis,” Brown said. “Thankfully, we have assembled the best possible team of veterinarians and farriers to stabilize her and assist her through these difficult times. I ask that all of her fans keep this magnificent racehorse in their prayers and hopefully she will be back on the racetrack flashing her brilliance again.”
