Also, according to the Investigator on the case, they are expecting additional horses to be returned Wenesday with the remaining horses to be returned on Friday. Wheelon stated, "I'm very grateful for everything that Rob White and Kenny Myers have done to resolve this issue. Their continued hard work is very much appreciated."

The horses that were retuned were A Lady Antebellum, She's A 9.9, She's Just Sweeping, Luck of Doc filly, Black Knight By Choice, In My Pocket and Sweepstakes Pzazz.
