From the Downey Profile:
"
Barrier Reef Out of Tampa Bay Derby. Whirlaway Stakes winner Barrier Reef (Worth Watching) has been declared out of Saturday’s Grade III Tampa Bay Derby with a minor injury
Rick Metee, the Saeed bin Suroor surrogate for Godolpin's American division, said Barrier Reef "grabbed himself" at Payson Park recently, describing the injury as nothing serious--but Barrier Reef missed a scheduled work and will dodge War Pass on Saturday.
Barrier Reef was shipped to Florida after winning the Whirlaway at Aqueduct. His next race has not been determined, Mettee said."
