Kentucky Derby winner Mage won't run in the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic
, his trainer said Sunday. Mage had yet to travel to California for the world championships next weekend at Santa Anita. “He presented a feverish state this morning and we have noticed symptoms of loss appetite,” trainer Gustavo Delgado posted on social media. “We were very enthusiastic about the condition that the horse was going through, and despite how disappointed we feel right now, we are confident in a speedy recovery.
His defection leaves the Classic with just one Triple Crown race winner. Arcangelo won the Belmont and later the Travers. Preakness winner National Treasure is expected to run in the $1 million Dirt Mile on Saturday. Also out of the Classic is Geaux Rocket Ride after the colt was injured during a workout Saturday at Santa Anita. Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, who was aboard, wasn't hurt. Geaux Rocket Ride sustained a condylar fracture, according to a statement from the Breeders’ Cup.
