Successful stallion Pine Bluff is due back at William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Ky., May 31 following colic surgery at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital near Lexington. The 12-year-old stallion was sent to the clinic May 27 and was treated for a large colon displacement.

"The surgery was a success, but Pine Bluff will miss the remainder of the breeding season," said farm manager Mike Cline. "It will take six to eight weeks to repair itself, and we expect a complete recovery."

Pine Bluff, who won the 1992 Preakness Stakes (gr. I) and earned $2.2 million, covered 84 mares and 52 of them have been pronounced in foal. He has sired 14 stakes winners, including Lil's Lad, who also stands at Lane's End.
