they didn't say.. only eluded to the fact that the buzz was he wasn't doing so well in the last few days.

I'm sure the exact details will be out soon enough.

The TDN has the director of publicity for SA saying all three vets conferred, but he doesn't know if it was a vet scratch or a trainer scratch. The headline (which is all there is so far) on Paulick Report says possible concern over left front tendon.

I initially thought that Z Day was a perfect beneficiary, but wasn't he just a rabbit for Pioneer of the Nile's sake?

I screwed up and made the bet on Z Day in haste. He has only been racing in 6 furlong sprints, now entered as a rabbit in a mile and an eight Graded stakes race

I wonder if Zayat will now scratch Z Day with the Pamplemousse out of the race.

The horse has not been scratched yet. However, he would need a new jockey as his named jock is riding at Gulfstream today in a stakes race.

I wonder if Alex Solis could pick up the mount.

Default The Pamplemousse Off The Trail

Alex Solis II confirmed on TVG that The Pamplemousse has a lesion in his tendon. Apparently can possibly be out for the year as well.

That sux. I had a soft spot for him due to my fancy for grapefruit.

Hope he bounces back soon.

That's too bad... liked him a lot.

Feel better, good boy.

The Pamplemousse, trained by Julio Canani, was scratched from the Santa Anita Derby on Saturday, and on Sunday his connections said that if he is to race again, he would need approximately a year to recover.

"He has a lesion on his left foreleg," said Alex Solis II, a bloodstock agent and a co-owner of The Pamplemousse. "We'll give him a significant amount of time. He's not done yet by any means. If Julio Canani wants to give him six months, he can give him six months. If he wants to give him a year, he can give him a year. I have full confidence in Julio Canani. We've had a great run with this horse and he's given us a lot."

This is a retirement notice.

IF he is to race again.
We've HAD a great run.

It's over.
