By Mary Rampellini
Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint winner Hightail has been retired after sustaining an injury during a recent training session at Oaklawn Park, trainer D. Wayne Lukas said Tuesday.
Lukas said Hightail fractured a sesamoid and is to rehab at the Calumet Farm operation of his owner, Brad Kelley. Stud plans for the horse are pending. “He’s retired,” Lukas said. “It was training, just a bad step. He’s going to be okay as a stud.” ( !)
