Appealing Tale out of BC Dirt Mile

Appealing Tale came out of his final work for the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile with an ankle injury that will keep him out of the Breeders' Cup, trainer Peter Miller said Sunday morning from his barn at San Luis Rey Downs.
"It's the same ankle he had surgery on when he was 3," Miller said. "He'll be fine down the line but it's bad timing and it really hurts because, all due respect to Liam's Map, I thought we were the horse to beat."
Appealing Tale won the Kelso at Belmont Park in his last start, defeating Honor Code.
His defection from the Dirt Mile impacts the pace, as he races on or near the lead.
Entries for all 13 BC races are due Monday morning and posts will be drawn for all 13 later in the day. The Dirt Mile is run on Friday
