Fireball Birdie Update

Fireball Birdie remains in good order on the farm. After conferring with trainer Steve Asmussen, we have elected to have Fireball Birdie gelded and that procedure is set to take place today. It’s a pretty logical move to make and we hope it will help him stay sound as his training ramps back up. He tends to be a pretty heavy horse–as seen in our last video check-in–and gelding him should aid in getting some of that weight off and in turn taking some pressure off of his legs. He is not a stallion prospect at this point, so there’s no reason not to go ahead with the procedure.
