Sam P. uninjured, bound for Florida
By Marty McGee Sam P. was pulled up by jockey Calvin Borel shortly after finishing seventh in the Prairie Bayou Stakes on Saturday at Turfway Park and was vanned off. The 5-year-old horse, however, suffered no injuries whatsoever, according to Buff Bradley, the trainer of Sam P. "He's back training like a million dollars," Bradley said early Wednesday. "Calvin was just being cautious." Borel did something virtually identical after a Polytrack race at the Keeneland fall meet with Warrior's Reward, dismounting shortly after the finish before the horse was vanned off. Nothing was found amiss with Warrior's Reward, either. "I think what happens is sometimes the Polytrack balls up and their action gets a little funny," said Bradley. Bradley, meanwhile, is headed soon to Gulfstream Park, where he will have 20 horses, including Sam P.
