Info on Royal Mo Injury
Jeremy Balan @BH_JBalan tweets Sunday, 14 May, 2017
Gary Stevens said he thought Royal Mo’s work was going excellent until he heard a loud “pop” approaching the quarter pole
John Shirreffs doing an incredible job of handling Royal Mo. Gently trying to coax the colt onto the trailer, but he doesn’t want to budge .
John Shirreffs says x-ray of Royal Mo at barn showed fracture of inside sesamoid in right front.
Jay Privman @DRFPrivman Sunday, 14 May, 2017
Shirreffs said fracture was contained to sesamoid, did not involve condyle, surgery unlikely. Royal Mo headed to New Bolton to be monitored.

Watching everything unfold today, it’s hard not to admire
John Shirreffs as a horseman. Showed compassion and care, and never broke.

Dear Team Z, Z Fans and Royal Mo:
Such horrible luck. Heartbreaking. Prayers for you Mo for complete healing. Love and Hugs, JB

The Mosses have sent Mo to New Bolton. Against all odds, New Bolton saved Paynter. Let’s hope for the same for Mo.

Dear Max:
Yes, Mo’s in good hands at New Bolton. Love and Hugs, JB

I am just heartbroken over Royal Mo’s injury. Thank God it does not appear to be life threating. So sad for Gary, Ann, Jerry and John and all the team. Really thought he would be the better of the two 3 year olds. At least Gary realized that something was wrong and took care of him until medical help arrived.
Max
Maybe they will send Gormley to the Belmont? His pedigree with AP and Secretariat on the sire line says that he can get the distance. His race record seems to be to win and then not to win. Given the KD result, a win is next on the Team G horizon. The racing gods do strange things.

How terrible about Royal Mo. Praying for a full recovery for our boy. Kudos to Gary Stevens & trainer John S. who once again showed us what a kind, compassionate, caring person he is.
And Happy Mother’s Day, Zenny. How wonderful you have your beautiful baby with you this year to share the day with.

Happy Mothers Day Zenyatta. How wonderful for you to celebrate with your beautiful new daughter.

Happy mothers day, beautiful baby you have!
Philip Lawrence
What a beautiful little girl the new filly is: has Zenyatta’s ears but otherwise looks like her daddy. Wonder what her name will be: I kind of like “Fields of Gold” after the Sting song (and her daddy’s name translates to “Medal of Gold”).
Cheryl in Bellflower, CA
Hi Philip I really like your idea for a name. Was thinking if the s is replaced by a capital z, then both mom and dad would be commemorated. Would that be good?

Oops. Just realized FieldZ of Gold was suggested on Facebook on 5/12/17. Just goes to show it’s a great idea :-)

Maybe it’s the angle, but that is one very big, beautiful filly. She might grow as big as Zenyatta. God, please take care of this girl and her momma.

Thank you Team Z for the generous gift of these wonderful pictures. Happy Mother’s Day beautiful Zenny. Your baby girl is beautiful.
Sally Blank (cherishes Z and her foals)
Goodnight Zenyatta and I thank God for the blessing I have recently received. Z blog shared of you foaling a beautiful filly.
I thought I saw a pic of you and baby z with Ann on your face book page. It is so incredibly awesome. I feel that Ann could be my sister.
I love you Zenyatta, Happy Mothers Day. Kisses to you and all your sons,
Z princess and baby z and dear Sir
I saw my two sons over Mothers Day and I was blessed too.

So deeply saddened about Royal Mo’s injury. I so hoped for a win with Gary in the saddle. What a huge loss for the team. My condolences to the Mosses, John and Dottie and Gary.
What a special blessing to see Zenny and her beautiful filly enjoying each other! May there be comfort in the gain.
Loving concern and many prayers, Donna

Dear Ann, Jerry, John, Dottie, Gary, & Team Z, Our prayers are with you and Royal Mo. He has been in the BEST hands in the racing business and we are sending our love and prayers for you and the team!

I just read about Royal Mo’s injury and am so sad for his team. I had so looked forward to watching him run in & I believe, winning the Preakness.
Thank you to Gary to recognizing that Royal Mo was hurt & pulling him up & supporting his hurt leg right away.
New Bolton Center is one of the best places for him to be because he will get the best of care there.
Royal Mo, I will keep you & your team in my prayers, especially Mario, John, Mr & Mrs Moss & Dottie.
I hope that spending time with Zenyatta & her new filly will help comfort Ann & Jerry during this rough time. Maybe John, Dottie & Mario can stop to visit Zenny & her beautiful girl on their way home as well. I hope they can so she can comfort them, too.
My prayers are with you & your team Royal Mo!
