As first reported by the DRF's David Grening, MGSW & MGISP Fluffy Socks (Slumber {GB}), one of the likely favorites for the GII Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf Saturday at Gulfstream Park, has been retired due to injury.

Speaking to the DRF, owner Sol Kumin said Chad Brown informed him Thursday that Fluffy Socks was off in her left hind leg, and that X-rays showed a faint line which could lead to a condylar fracture. The decision was made to retire her, and she will be a scratch out of Saturday's contest.

Kumin also added that she will ship to Dell Ridge Farm to await a stallion selection for her.

“I'm bummed, but she did us right,” he told the DRF.

The DRF report included that also expected to scratch are GSW Ocean Club (Curlin) and SW, SW & GSP-Fr See You Around (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), leaving a field of 11.
