If Tagg can get him healed in 3 months, that is the perfect time for a BC run. He's be back by late August/early September. You could get in 2 preps before the BC. That is if he returns to old form.

We won't see this horse run again this year. Tendon tear= Bow. We saw the best of Showing up and I understand NoBizLikeShowBiz is going to miss the Belmont.

The part about him returning in 3 months, or the part about him returning to form, or both?

Pretty much all of it. First of all, being out three months at this point means even if things went perfectly it almost impossible he would be racing before mid October. However, while I'm not a trainer or vet, from what I've seen over the past thirty plus years it's beyond rare that horses return to form from tendon injuries, especially rapidly.

He's a very nice horse, and I like Tagg, so I wish him well. But, it's hard not to be pessimistic.

Default That's a.....

Real shame about Showing Up, after running such a good race in his first start of 07, i felt he was in for a big year. What a downer for the Tagg barn.
