Medallist injured, out of Met Mile Grade 2 winner MEDALLIST (Touch Gold) has a fractured sesamoid in his left front leg and will not run in Monday's $750,000 Metropolitan H. (G1), trainer Allen Jerkens told Daily Racing Form. The four-year-old is expected to be sidelined until next year. The injury, which is non-displaced, could propel the colt toward a career as a stallion. Medallist is the only horse to defeat FOREST DANGER (Forestry), the probable second choice to reigning Horse of the Year GHOSTZAPPER (Awesome Again) in Monday's Met Mile. The dark bay did so in last year's one-mile Withers S. (G3) at Aqueduct. This year, Medallist captured the 6 1/2-furlong Deputy Minister H. (G3) in track record time at Gulfstream Park, then finished second to Forest Danger in the seven-furlong Carter H. (G1) at Aqueduct. Overall, he has five wins, two seconds and one third from 12 starts and has earned $421,375.
