Ageless's cut to get another look

LEXINGTON, Ky. – A consultation with attending veterinarian Robert Hunt was planned for early this week to determine whether Ageless can resume training soon enough to make the Oct. 31 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, trainer Arnaud Delacour said Monday.

Ageless, owned by Lael Stables, incurred a cut below her left hock Friday at Keeneland during the running of the Franklin County Stakes, a race in which she rallied to win over the heavily favored Lady Shipman, earning a 99 Beyer Speed Figure. Ageless was vanned from the winner’s circle and transported to the nearby Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, where Hunt sutured a wound that was determined to be largely superficial.

“There is no structural damage,” said Delacour.

Meanwhile, Lady Shipman will remain at Keeneland to train toward the Turf Sprint, said Florida-based trainer Kathleen O’Connell.
