Maker was scheduled to start My Mane Champ in a maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds on Friday, but he said the colt will miss the race because of a fever.

Santa Anita officials have been actively recruiting stables to California to offset a decline in the horse population in recent years.

Through Tuesday, Maker ranked fifth in the nation in earnings with $8.7 million.
