LEXINGTON, Ky. - Odysseus, the last-place finisher after setting the pace Saturday in the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland in his first race over a synthetic surface, suffered a knee chip during the race, according to the colt's owner, Satish Sanan of Padua Stables.
"The X-rays show a chip in the back of the left knee," said Sanan. "It's a very unusual spot, and it's an indication that he hyperextended it. We will see what needs to be done and go from there."
Padua had the early Kentucky Derby favorite in 2003 with Vindication, but he was retired with a knee injury.
