Ankle injury derails Buffalo Man
Kentucky Derby (G1) prospect BUFFALO MAN (El Prado [Ire]) will miss the
Triple Crown races due to an ankle injury. A stakes winner in his final juvenile
start, the Cam Gambolati trainee opened his 2007 campaign with victories in the
Spectacular Bid S. and O.B.S. Championship S. Buffalo Man was preparing for a
start in Saturday's $300,000 Fountain of Youth S. (G2) when he suffered the
injury during a Sunday morning workout.
"He took a bad step," trainer Cam Gambolati said Monday. "Fortunately, it's
not life-threatening or anything like that, and he should be able to come back.
He could make it back sometime in the fall."
Out of multiple stakes victress and Grade 1-placed Perfect Six (Saratoga
Six), Buffalo Man owns a 7-5-0-1 record with $207,700 in earnings.
