Ageless
Lael Stables' Ageless will not run in next Saturday's $1 million Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (gr. IT), trainer Arnaud Delacour said Oct. 23.
"We are not going to make it," Delacour said of the mare, who sustained a deep cut below her left hock in winning the Buffalo Trace Franklin County on Oct. 9. "I wish we had another two weeks, but you can't go into a grade I race half ready. It is just bad timing, but that's racing."

Ageless, fourth in last year's Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, is scheduled to return to Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland Oct. 25. No decision has been made on the 6-year-old mare's racing future.
"There is no rush to make a decision," Delacour said. "Everything looks good now, and we expect she will make a full recovery. Then we will just take it one race at a time."
