Euroears

[jpops757]

I remember a comeback race at FG that was unproductive in the winter. Is he still in training? Was a very promising 5-7 f runner lasts year before injury.

There was an article in the DRF earlier this week. He just breezed. The owner currently has him under his care and is hoping to send him to California.

Before his injury Ifelt he was ready to chalange the top sprinters. Thanks for the info.

received this last week and thought was a case of mistaken identity (Equibase had been having glitches) - if remembering correctly, he had a screw inserted and an infection developed in that area when they tried to bring him back last time - didn't see the article, so glad to hear they're giving it another shot - thanks!

Yup.

yes - found the article under the Arlington column - apparently training with the owners at Ruidoso (believe read a long time ago they breed quarterhorses) - so the surgery was to replace two screws with one, guess can understand them wanting to try but just dunno if he'll ever be quite the same, wish him well and them lots of luck with it though ..

The immensely gifted Euroears is on the way back from his second leg surgery, but trainer Bret Calhoun said he's uncertain whether Euroears will be rejoining one of his strings of horses.

Euroears posted a three-furlong breeze in 38.20 seconds on June 4 at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico, his first work since undergoing surgery late last year. An operation was performed on Euroears's right hind leg to remove two screws (and replace them with one new screw) that had been inserted to stabilize a fracture sustained in March 2008.

Euroears was the rage of the 2007-2008 Fair Grounds meet. He won three stakes that season, two on dirt and another on turf, to run his career record to 6 for 6 before suffering the original injury. Euroears finished fifth last November in his first and only start following his first layoff.

Calhoun said Jim Helzer, who owns Euroears with his wife, Marilyn, has a barn at Ruidoso, and is training Euroears there himself. Calhoun said Helzer had talked about racing Euroears in Southern California this year.

"I don't know if I'm getting him back or not," said Calhoun......
