Sprinter Champion Book'em Danno Sidelined Four Months as Leg Injury Proves Deeper Than First Feared

Book'em Danno, the reigning Eclipse Award champion sprinter by Bucchero, will spend the next four months on the sidelines as connections address a left front leg injury that turned out to be more serious than initial exams indicated. The colt had already been ruled out of Breeders' Cup consideration before the fuller extent of the injury came to light. His connections now shift their focus entirely to a patient recovery, with no timetable set beyond the four-month rest period itself.
