SURGERY FOR GLOBAL HUNTER
Breaking down immediately after his American Handicap win at Hollywood Park, Global Hunter underwent surgery today for his dislocated right front fetlock. According to the Blood-Horse, co-owner Shawn Turner said Dr. Doug Herthel performed the surgery and was doing well as of midday on July 5th.
"I’ve been told that the leg is warm, which is good news about his circulation," said Turner.

I hope that Global Hunter survives that ordeal.
Thorn Song is in the same hospital.
