Robert I. Sahn’s Grade 2 Jerome
winner Adios Charlie will miss the
remainder of 2011 with a stress fracture detected after his runner-up
performance in the Grade 2 Dwyer at Belmont on July 2, trainer Stan Hough
confirmed Friday.
“It’s similar to the injury he
had last year, a stress fracture behind,” said Hough. “He needs 90 days off, so
that will end his year. No surgery is needed.”
Adios Charlie had been aiming for
a start in this Saturday’s Grade 2 Jim Dandy at Saratoga Race Course.
“With the big races coming up,
the timing is unfortunate,” said Hough. “We’ll get him ready for next year.”
