Get Her Number to miss Breeders' Cup Juvenile

ARCADIA, Calif. - Get Her Number, the winner of the Grade 1 American Pharoah Stakes at Santa Anita on Sept. 26, will miss the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Keeneland on Nov. 6 because of a minor injury, trainer Peter Miller said Sunday.

“He’s got a little bit of bone bruising and we’ll back off on him,” Miller said. “He won’t run again until next year.”

Owned by Gary Barber, Get Her Number has won 2 of 3 starts and has earned $219,000. By Dialed In, Get Her Number won his debut in a maiden special weight race at five furlongs on turf at Del Mar on Aug. 14 and was fourth, by a length, in his stakes debut in the Del Mar Juvenile Turf at a mile on Sept. 7.

In the American Pharoah Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on dirt, Get Her Number was always near the front and won by three-quarters of a length over Rombauer, a candidate for the BC Juvenile. Spielberg, who finished third in the American Pharoah, is also a probable starter in the BC Juvenile.

Get Her Number earned a fees-paid berth to the BC Juvenile with the win in the American Pharoah.

Miller has four candidates for Breeders’ Cup races, including leading contender C Z Rocket in the Sprint, the highly regarded Mo Forza in the Mile, Wyfire in the Juvenile Turf Sprint, and Ebeko for the Juvenile Turf.

Miller said Wyfire is not a certain runner in the Juvenile Turf Sprint.

“We may take a pass on that,” he said.

The stable has high hopes for Superman Shaq, the winner of a maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds by 3 3/4 lengths at 5 1/2 furlongs at Del Mar on Sept. 6 in his second start. Owned by Barber, Superman Shaq is under consideration for the $98,000 Street Sense Stakes at 1 1/16 miles at Churchill Downs on Oct. 25, the opening day of the track’s autumn meeting.

“We’ll try to develop him and see if he wants to go longer,” Miller said.
