Hungary's undefeated world-class sprinter Overdose is hoped to recover soon and return to racetracks in the coming months, owner Zoltan Mikoczy told MTI in Berlin on Wednesday.
Overdose, who is considered to be the best horse to emerge from Hungary since the great Kincsem in the 1870s, has triumphed in twelve out of twelve races and attracted purchase offers as high as 5 million euros.
Last April, however, the wonder horse fell ill with laminitis, a chronic inflammation of the hoof. It underwent treatment in France and later in Britain, and the horse is now being rehabilitated in Hoppegarten, the famous racetrack of Berlin.
Rejoiced at quick progress in recovery, Mikoczy expressed his conviction that Overdose would perform better than before its illness.
The owner was unwilling to specify an exact date for Overdose's return.
"Actually we would like to prepare the horse for the Royal Ascot, to be run on June 19," he said. I think this time would be the best race after a long period of time of Overdose. It shouldn't be missed.
If all goes to plan, it will run at least one preparatory race before that great derby, he added.
The horse Mikoczy purchased in Britain in 2006 will turn five on April 2.
The horse is scheduled to return to Hungary in foreseeable time, a condition for it to race in Hungarian colours.
