SARATOGA SPRINGS — Trainer D. Wayne Lukas said that television reports stating that Preakness winner Oxbow was done for the year are “premature.”

“Right now we are playing it by ear,” Lukas said by cellphone Friday afternoon. “It very well may be the case, but, right now it’s premature to say that.”

Oxbow injured an ankle during the running of the $1 million Haskell at Monmouth on July 28 while finishing fourth. Lukas said shortly after that race that he was not going to rush the colt back just to make the Travers. He said the goal was the Breeders’ Cup in November.

Lukas said that Oxbow will be re-evaluate by veterinarian Larry Bramlage in 30 days. Oxbow is currently still at Lukas’ barn at the Oklahoma Training Track.
