“He comes in in the next few days,” trainer Mark Glatt said on Wednesday. “We’ll do some diagnostic work on him and hopefully he gets the green light to resume training.
“He had a hard campaign and he needed a break.”
Dr. Schivel won his stakes debut in the Del Mar Futurity at seven furlongs, his second win in four starts. Following a maiden race win on Aug. 8, Dr Schivel was purchased privately by Rancho Temescal, Red Baron’s Barn, and William Reeves from co-breeder Bill Branch, who retained an ownership share.
