Sir Winston Sidelined with Minor Injury

Tracy Farmer's homebred Sir Winston (Awesome Again), the winner of this year's GI Belmont S., has been ruled out of a summer campaign due to a minor left front ankle injury. The story was originally reported by the Daily Racing Form.

“He has a minor left front ankle injury and he's going to do some rehab at the farm. He's back in Ocala now [at Casse's personal training center], he's going to be off for a little while,” said trainer Mark Casse. “I'm still hopeful we'll be back in the fall, we'll play it by ear. The (GI) Travers S. is not going to be an option.”

Casse mentioned the GI Pegasus World Cup S. in January as a possible long-term goal for Sir Winston.

This news comes shortly after trainer Bill Mott announced GI Kentucky Derby winner Country House (Lookin At Lucky) would be out for the remainder of the season.
