Russell Jones does say, according to Oakford, that the injury is "minor." But as we learned with IHA . . . . .

Damn, damn, damn, and more damn!
That being said, I hope the injury is minor and he'll recover completely. If he's out for the rest of 2012, I have me doots he'll be back in 2013.

Thats really too bad if it is true. Every time there is a twitter rumor I always hope its false but most of the time they are accurate.

@EJXD2 @lanesendfarms it's an educated guess. ! He is not retired yet. Wishing he the best.

Perhaps the best thing that could have happened for his value.
Win his Classic and whisk off to stud before he can prove it wasn't the norm.
Well there's lots of smart ideas in books I've never read, when the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had
Damn it!I Love Union Rags! I was so hoping he'd be at the Breeders Cup. Hopefully it isn't anything too serious
Bummed out at the news of this .
I"ve searched and can't find a photo of the lovely Terpsichorist ! Until then her Daddy will represent her.
See you next year Rags.
Questing to find out who the best 3 year old in the country is.
"If anything is certain. It is that change is certain"
Dang, now we have to hear about how he would have beaten (insert name) in the Haskell, and (insert name) in the Travers, if he wasn't injured.
Seriously, hope it's nothing serious. If he's retired, I'll go get a sh** load of credit cards and try to buy him as my hunter/jumper horse.
the belmont curse strikes again!!!
but i hope he recovers for next year

I used to think it was sad when healthy 3yr olds got retired at the end of their 3yr old year.
Seems so much sadder that they can't even make it through a 3yr old season to retire at the end of anymore.
~We have enough youth. How about a fountain of smart??~
UGH! This sucks. Who's next? Bode? What a year it's been.
