Worth Repeating, one of the favorites in the $500,000 Breeders' Cup Marathon (gr. III), has been scratched from the race with a minor suspensory injury.
The six-year-old son of Giant's Causeway was entering the Marathon off of a terrific victory in the Ralph M. Hinds Handicap at Fairplex Park, which he won by five lengths over Quail Hill and Juniper Pass. Trained by Mike Machowsky, the horse had also run well in the twelve-furlong Cougar II Handicap (gr. III) this summer, establishing himself as one of the better stayers in this country.
The injury is not serious, and the horse is expected to return to racing later this year.
The scratch of Worth Repeating will leave the Marathon with a field of thirteen, led by the talented three-year-old Atigun, the multiple group I-winning European shipper Fame and Glory, and Maryland Millions Classic winner Not Abroad.
