The injury Lady Katherine sustained on January 10th will bar her from competitive racing for at least 8-10 weeks.
With about 1.5 furlongs remaining, she suffered what is known as a Grabbed Quarter. She was running second behind Silverstone of Moose Hollow when one of her rear hooves "grabbed" the front right hoof, resulting in torn skin and tissue.
It will be about 3 weeks to heal. That will be followed by a week of paddock exercise. Then another 4-6 weeks of training will be required to get her back into racing shape.
