Winner of the Grade 1 Personal Ensign by a neck over champion Midnight Bisou on Aug. 1, Calumet Farm's Vexatious has been ruled out of the Breeders' Cup Distaff.
According to trainer Jack Sisterson on Twitter, the 6-year-old daughter of Giant's Causeway came up “slightly off” Friday morning; her most recent workout was on Oct. 17 at Keeneland.
Sisterson indicated that the plan is to race Vexatious in 2021.
“We always prioritize the best interest of the horse and have elected to defer to caution and not compete in the upcoming Breeders' Cup,” Sisterson wrote. “While this is a disappointment, we look forward to her coming back healthy and happy for a 2021 campaign.”
