What kind of leg injury did Ghostzapper sustain?

Question

I read that not very long ago he sustained some kind of injury but i don't know what happened.

Answer 1

Ghostzapper was retired from racing on June 13, 2005 after discovery of a hairline fracture in his left front ankle. He retired with career earnings of $3,446,120. He is currently standing stud at Stronach's Adena Springs Farm in Kentucky where his own sire, the champion racehorse Awesome Again (by Deputy Minister) also stands. Ghostzapper's dam is Baby Zip, the 2005 Broodmare of the Year.

Ghostzapper commands $200,000 per live foal, the highest fee ever for a first time stallion. His progeny will hit the track some time in 2009.

Ghostzapper covered 111 mares in the 2006 breeding season. On October 20th, 2006, Adena Springs announced a reduction in Ghostzappers stud fee. His 2007 stud fee will be $150,000 per live foal.

Answer 2

Trainer Bobby Frankel explained what happened after the race. "He had some filling in his ankle. We X-rayed it and didn't find anything, but I wasn't comfortable with it and wanted to make sure everything was all right. I didn't want to take any chances, so I sent him to New Bolton (Medical Center) on Wednesday (June 8). They did a nuclear scan and found a hot spot. Then they took an X-ray of the spot and discovered a small crack."
