POMONA, Calif. – Del Mar Futurity winner Rolling Fog will miss the autumn season, including the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, with bucked shins and is not expected to return until the winter meet at Santa Anita that begins on Dec. 26.

Rolling Fog, owned by Arnold Zetcher, gave trainer Bob Baffert his record 11th Futurity victory on Sept. 5. The 2-year-old colt was expected to stretch to two turns Sept. 29 in the Grade 1, 1 1/16-mile FrontRunner for 2-year-olds (formerly the Norfolk Stakes) until the setback.

“I’m going to stop on him,” Baffert said Wednesday from Santa Anita.

He breezed four furlongs in 49 seconds on the turf at Fair Hill, working in company with the multiple graded stakes-winning turf horse Smart Bid, who is entered in Saturday’s $100,000 Alphabet Soup Handicap at Parx Racing.

The TRF has vigorously denied those allegations. Schneiderman seeks, among other things, removal of the TRF board.

Get Stormy, a speedy turf specialist who won three Grade 1 events, has been retired, trainer Tom Bush announced Monday.

Bred and owned by Mary Sullivan, Get Stormy won 11 of 31 career starts and earned $1,606,812. His last start resulted in a third-place finish in the Aug. 11 Fourstardave at Saratoga.
