Injury forces champion She Be Wild to miss Oaks

Daily Racing Form reports that last year's champion juvenile filly SHE

BE WILD (Offlee Wild) fractured her left front pastern Sunday, sidelining her

for an undetermined period and ending her bid for the April 30 Kentucky Oaks

(G1).

Trainer Wayne Catalano said that the injury occurred when She Be Wild was

taking her usual gallop at Keeneland Sunday morning. Once the fracture was

diagnosed, surgery was performed to insert a screw into the injured area.

"The filly's fine now, and that's the main thing," Catalano told the DRF.

"Obviously we're very sad about it, but it's part of the game."

A homebred campaigned by Nancy Mazzoni, She Be Wild won her Eclipse Award

after scoring victories in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1),

Arlington-Washington Lassie S. (G3) and Top Flight S. The dark bay also finished

a close second in the Alcibiades S. (G1) in her only loss from five starts at

two.
