Russo, you put it perfectly. It sucks indeed. I would have to say that if Toytown is (at least) 15, with a second soft tissue lesion/tear/rupture, the chances of him returning to the level of competition which he had previously dominated is extremly unlikely. At the very least it will be 6 months on stall rest and 6 months coming back into work and then we'll see when he's 16. I am sorry, but there is no chance that he will be there in 2012 at the olympics. Perhaps Zara with another horse. What a shame.
