Two key horses scratched from Breeders’ Cup races
Super Ninety Nine, the pre-race favorites in Friday’s $500,000 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint, has been scratched after sustaining a scrape while moving about in his stall at Santa Anita Park.
Also scratched Friday morning was Worth Repeating, one of the top contenders in the $500,000 Marathon.
Super Ninety Nine, trained by Bob Baffert, was lying in his stall and apparently stumbled getting up and panicked.
“I’m really upset,†Baffert said. “He’s scraped up; it’s not serious, but you can’t have stuff like this prior to a race like this. He’ll be OK, but not today. It is really too bad. He was going to win that race.â€
Worth Repeating was having an issue with his left front leg after training on Thursday.
