John Magnier of Coolmore, co-owner of the filly, was quoted in The Racing Post as saying, "She has a small fracture in her knee. It was nobody's fault and everybody here at Santa Anita dealt with it efficiently. It's not a career-threatening injury. She will have a pin inserted in the knee on Sunday and then she will follow on home in 10 days time."
