Injuries, Retirements piling up: Bayern, Take Chg Brandi, Jess's Dream
Embellish the Lace to miss BC with injury; will be offered at Fasig-Tipton
Dave Grening, DRF Live EMBELLISH THE LACE, the Grade 1 Alabama winner, came out of her fifth-place finish in last Saturday's Grade 1 Cotillion with an injury and will not be pointed to the Breeders' Cup Distaff. Instead she will be offered at the Fasig-Tipton in November, according to trainer Tony Dutrow. "She has an injury that can keep her out of the Breeders' Cup," said Dutrow, who declined to disclose the injury. "She could be rehabbed and brought back to the races but [owner Alex Lieblong] has chosen not to do that." Embellish the Lace, a daughter of Super Saver who was a $320,000 yearling purchase out of the 2013 Keeneland September yearling sale, won 3 of 6 races and earned $441,540. Ironicus injured, will miss Breeders' Cup Dave Grening, DRF Live IRONICUS, who set a course record winning the Bernard Baruch at Saratoga on Sept. 7, has a fracture in the cannon bone of his right foreleg and is out for the year, trainer Shug McGaughey said Thursday. Ironicus was being pointed to the Breeders' Cup Mile. McGaughey said Ironicus would have a screw inserted to repair the fracture and the prognosis is for a return to racing in 2016. In winning the Bernard Baruch, Ironicus ran 1 1-16 miles in 1:38.54, eclipsing the 24-year-old mark of 1:38.54 set by FOURSTARDAVE.
