Omaha Beach/Spun To Run SCRATCHED

[CheckMark]

Whoops. From Bloodhorse:

"The star-crossed career of Fox Hill Farm's Omaha Beach came to an end Jan. 23 with another jolt for owner Rick Porter. X-rays detected the start of a cannon bone fracture in the 4-year-old's rear right ankle, and the son of War Front was scratched from the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes Presented by Runhappy (G1).

Omaha Beach, who was going to be retired after the Jan. 25 Pegasus at Gulfstream Park to begin life as a stallion at Spendthrift Farm, was the even-money favorite in the 1 1/8-mile race. The complexion of the event changed significantly Thursday, when Robert P. Donaldson's Spun to Run, the 7-2 second choice on the morning line, was also scratched due to a skin problem.

That's why you always back up your picks when things go down like this

Anyone know what's going with Spun to Run?

Early in the year I heard he was sent to a farm because he was dealing with a skin issue, but the plan was to bring him back for the Met Mile. He hasn't been on the work tab as far as I know. I don't know if he's in training just galloping or is still out of training. He got quite good last year. He'd be a welcome addition to the stakes races.
