Injury scratches Hurricane Ike from Preakness

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/12/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hurricane Ike, winner of last month's Derby Trial, has been withdrawn from the Preakness Stakes with a leg injury. Trainer John Sadler made the announcement Wednesday morning.

"My horse isn't so fine. It's something that came up this morning. I got a call telling me that he was off behind," said Sadler from Hollywood Park.

Assistant trainer Larry Benevidez, who has been overseeing the colt training at Churchill Downs, informed Sadler of the unspecified injury to Hurricane Ike's left hind leg.

"This is pretty fresh, but it looks similar to the problem he had at Oak Tree," said Sadler, referring to a condition last fall at Santa Anita Park that delayed the colt's three-year-old season. "He might have re-injured himself in the same area.

"This is extremely disappointing. It's disappointing, but what can you do? Sometimes they don't cooperate. Hopefully, we'll get him into some big races later this year."

Owned by Ike and Dawn Thrash, Hurricane Ike was second earlier this year in the Bay Shore Stakes to Eightyfiveinafifty at Aqueduct. He has won two of eight career starts for $249,732.
