Kantharos injured, retired

KANTHAROS (Lion Heart), the early season leader among juvenile colts on the East Coast following daylight wins in the Saratoga Special S. (G2) and Bashford Manor S. (G3), has been retired after suffering a career-ending injury while galloping out during a workout at Saratoga on Monday.

A press release sent out by owner Stonestreet Stables described the injury as a fracture, but no specific details were provided.

"This horse is a magnificent athlete," Stonestreet owner Jess Jackson said. "We are stunned, shocked and terribly saddened by this awful event. At the same time we are hoping that this injury will heal completely. At this point, his prognosis for a healthy recovery is good, but in any case, his racing career is over."

No, the game needs less racing and a lower takeout....He's not dead. He'll have a great career producing other horses that are injury prone. Shhh.

This is a total shock and disapointment.

No way an Assmussen baby breaks down, just no way.
