Japan-based T O Password, who hasn’t raced since finishing fifth in the Kentucky Derby, had surgery Tuesday on fractures to both his front legs.
Australian journalist Graham Pavey, who is based in Japan, posted on X that the colt will need six months to recover.
T O Password won his debut in the Newcomer Stakes at Kyoto Racecourse and his second start in the Fukuryu at Nakayama Racecourse before shipping to Churchill Downs for the derby, where his odds were 48-1 with jockey Kazushi Kimura.
Trained by Daisuke Takayanagi, he was one of two Japan-bred runners in the derby, along with Forever Young, who finished third as the third betting choice.
They were the fifth and sixth Japan-bred horses to run for the roses, and none of their predecessors finished higher than sixth.
