Emotionless recovering following surgery Emotionless is on the road to recovery having undergone surgery on a knee injury following his disappointing run in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket. Having won on his debut and impressed in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster, Godolphin's big hope was the chief market rival to eventual winner Air Force Blue, but crossed the line in last place having been eased down by William Buick. Subsequent X-rays revealed a chip in his left fore knee, but hopes are high for a full recovery for the Charlie Appleby-trained colt . Godolphin's John Ferguson said: "He's had the operation and all is fine. He just needs some box-rest now and he will be a nice horse for next year." Emotionless, a son of Shamardal, is a best-priced 20-1 for the Qipco 2000 Guineas.
