What the Nation is saying about Surgery Goes Well for Animal Kingdom...

a surgery will take a lot longer to repair and recooperate properly than 3 months.. and then even longer than that to get back into shape.. lets hope takes the world cup!

Great news! so he'll start re-habbing in 2 weeks, then back to training after 90 days...BC is a long shot but who knows?
