Well Monied among five QE II dropouts
By Marty McGee http://www.drf.com/news/article/108097.html LEXINGTON, Ky. - The prospective field for the $500,000 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on Saturday at Keeneland incurred a handful of 11th-hour defections when the connections of the California standout Well Monied were among several to decline invitations to the Grade 1 turf race Wednesday. "Our filly got a little lung infection, and we've had to stop on her," said trainer Howard Zucker. "We're disappointed, because we were all excited about coming there. We've had to cancel about 100 reservations." Well Monied, winner of the Grade 2 Honeymoon Handicap and runner-up in the Grade 1 American Oaks, will race again next year as a 4-year-old, said Zucker. The connections of Acting Lady, Hooh Why, Mary's Follies, and Starlarks also turned down an opportunity to run in the 1 1/8-mile stakes. In the meantime, the connections of Lady Shakespeare, a Woodbine-based filly trained by Roger Attfield, accepted an invitation to boost the field back to seven.
