Super Ninety Nine, the second choice in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint, has been scratched from the race after becoming cast in his tall early this morning.
The speedy son of Pulpit was entering the Breeders' Cup off of an impressive victory in a seven-furlong maiden special weight, and the Bob Baffert-trainee was viewed as one of the primary contenders in the six-furlong race. But after he scraped himself up in his stall, the decision was made to scratch.
Super Ninety Nine's defection leaves the Juvenile Sprint with a field of six, led by Tim Conway Stakes winner Merit Man and the grade I-placed filly Sweet Shirley Mae.
