Report: Bleecker Street is sidelined after Diana loss

Bleecker Street, winner of her first seven starts before finishing third in the Grade 1 Diana at Saratoga, has been sidelined indefinitely.

Trainer Chad Brown told Daily Racing Form that the 3-year-old Quality Road filly did not come out of the July 16 race well and was sent to Kentucky to be evaluated.

Bleecker Street was purchased as a yearling for $400,000 and is owned by Peter Brant. She had wins in four graded stakes leading up to the Diana, most recently in the New York (G1). Before that, she won the Modesty (G3), Hillsborough (G2) and Endeavour (G3). Her seven starts have been at six tracks, and she has earned $894,700.

Brown won the Diana with In Italian, and two of his other trainees, Technical Analysis and Rougir, came in second and fourth. He told DRF that he has not finalized plans for those other runners, although he is considering Rougir for the Beverly D. at Churchill Downs on Aug. 13.
