The surprise gelding who won the Derby this year, MINE THAT BIRD, underwent a surgical procedure to correct a problem with his epligottis, and according to his trainer, Chip Wooley, came through with flying colors. The surgery was a success, and his breathing problem should be alleviated.
He is expected to run in the Grade I Travers Stakes on August 29, will return to Saratoga Tuesday, and resume training for the $1 million classic in just a few short weeks.
