Excerpt:
S. S. Stone, who rose from the claiming ranks this winter to capture Sunday’s Grade 3 Skip Away (http://www1.drf.com/replays/savedreplays.jsp?RACE=1486) at Gulfstream Park, will be sidelined indefinitely after exiting the race with a small fracture in his left cannon bone, trainer Nick Zito reported on Wednesday.
“He came out of the race with a small line on his cannon bone,” said Zito. “It’s nothing serious. We already did the surgery and he’ll be out a few months. He’s going to stay with me here at Palm Meadows and then probably move on to Saratoga when we leave here at the end of the month. I’m very partial to him for several reasons, since he’s owned by Mr. LaPenta was bred by Mary Lou Whitney and is a son of Birdstone.”
