Additional Details:
Sheldon just arrived from the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville FL. He raced 8 races at Derby Lane but didn't do well at that track so was moved to Orange Park. He broke his front leg in his first race there. So he only had a total of 9 races and never won one of them. One of our volunteers is his racing owner. His racing owner has already had surgery done on his leg before we got him and the surgery went very well. His owner has already has kept several retired racers as pets at her home so Sheldon will be available for adoption as he is healed and cleared to be adopted by our vets. That should be in July. Sheldon's sire is USS Raceway and his dam is Bow Fine Tune. He is a larger guy that raced at 79lbs. Sheldon just turned 2 on February 17th so is pretty young. Sheldon is a little timid when being handled and having his splint changed so far. He will have plenty of experience with handling by the time his leg heals up with at least 2 splint changes a week. More as we get to know him.
