Belmont runner-up Dunkirk has leg surgery

Belmont Stakes runner-up Dunkirk has had surgery for a leg injury but is expected to return to racing as early as this autumn.

Dunkirk fractured his left hind cannon bone during Saturday's race and had surgery on Tuesday to insert a screw to stabilize the leg. Trainer Todd Pletcher says he anticipates a full recovery.

Dunkirk was slightly off after the Belmont, which was won by Summer Bird. An X-ray on Monday revealed the fracture.
