Just F Y I scratched from Davona Dale with fever

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Just F Y I, the undefeated champion 2-year-old filly of 2023, was scratched out of Saturday's Grade 2, $200,000 Davona Dale Stakes at Gulfstream Park due to a temperature, trainer Bill Mott said Saturday afternoon.

"I can't risk it," Mott said. "She doesn't seem too bad."

Mott said he shipped Just F Y I from Payson Park to Gulfstream Park on Friday and seemed okay before developing a temperature Saturday morning.

The scratch of Just F Y I figures to leave Leslie's Rose a heavy favorite in the Davona Dale.

Just F Y I went 3 for 3 as a 2-year-old including victories in the Grade 1 Frizette and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
