* Four Sons Money came to the reclaim retired at six years old after 57 career starts.  He had suffered a fetlock joint injury, was sore in his stifles, and had gastric ulcers.  This week his right front hoof burst open with an extreme abcess which is now draining.  Thankfully, he now has relief in that foot and is getting around better!  His appetite is improving and can walk from the field to his personal stall all on his own at feed time, this is a huge accomplishment for him. We will keep posting his progress.
