Calibrachoa, Have You Ever withdrawn from Carter
Calibrachoa, the 3-1 morning-line second choice for Saturday's Grade 1 Carter
at Aqueduct, has been scratched.
"He's had some soreness in his feet since his last workout," said Jonathan
Thomas, assistant to trainer Todd Pletcher. "He's not lame, but it's probably
something that would prevent him from bringing his 'A' game. It might be
something where if we had an additional week that it would have been fine."
Calibrachoa, winner of the Grade 3 Toboggan and Grade 3 Tom Fool thus far
this year, is owned by Mike Repole, who also campaigns Uncle Mo, the 1-5
morning-line favorite for the Grade 1 Wood Memorial one race after the Carter.
"I spoke with Todd this morning, and he makes the final decision," Repole
said. "I'm not going to micromanage a five-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer.
Todd thought Calibrachoa was about 80 percent, and we have a really good horse
and we want to race him year-round. He'll be ready for his next battle."
Have You Ever, Calibrachoa's entrymate and the expected pacesetter in the
Carter, was also scratched.
