Ouija Injured, Ruler Works
Ouija Board, last year’s winner of the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf, sustained a minor cannonbone fracture in the Prince of Wales’ Stakes at Ascot last week. She threw a shoe and ran seventh in that race, her first start since the Breeders’ Cup. Owner Lord Derby said the filly would be out until September at least, and may be retired. (BBC)
Roman Ruler put in a fast work at Hollywood at Monday, going six furlongs in 1:10.2. Trainer Bob Baffert had been pointing Roman Ruler toward the Jersey Shore on July 2, but is now thinking he’ll start the horse in the Dwyer Stakes. “I’m not crazy about running him at six furlongs,” said Baffert. “Right now, I’m leaning toward the Dwyer … I have several options if he runs well there. I can always cut back in distance after that.” (Blood-Horse)
