A winner of his lone start last fall by 9 1/2 lengths, the promising 3-year-old Extra Anejo has been cleared to resume training. According to the Daily Racing Form, the Into Mischief colt underwent surgery to remove a bone chip in a hind ankle, and after undergoing a PET scan on Monday, noted equine surgeon Dr. Larry Bramlage made the call on Tuesday.
“He's on his way to Fair Grounds,” Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen told DRF. “We'll start by jogging and go from there.”
After his impressive maiden win at Keeneland over seven furlongs, Extra Anejo had been pointed to the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes before the injury prevented him from making that Kentucky Derby prep race. Nonetheless, the colt was favored in Kentucky Derby future pools last fall.
By Into Mischief and out of the winning Hard Spun mare Superioritycomplex, Extra Anejo was bred in Kentucky by Mt. Brilliant Farm, LLC and Orrin H. Ingram. The colt was purchased by Winchell Thoroughbreds for $1.35 million at the 2021 Keeneland September sale.
