Breeders' Cup scratches: Domestic Spending, United out of Turf

Domestic Spending and United will not contest Saturday's Breeders' Cup Turf at Del Mar.

Trainer Chad Brown said Domestic Spending is out because of inflammation in his left foreleg, according to a social media post from Daily Racing Form's David Grening.

Domestic Spending earned a pair of Grade 1 wins this year in the Turf Turf Classic (G1) at Churchill Downs in May and the Manhattan (G1) at Belmont Park a month later. Most recently , the 4-year-old Kingman colt was the second in the Aug. 12 Mr. D (G1) at Arlington Park.

Domestic Spending was the 4-1 second choice on the morning line beind last year's winner, Tarnawa, the 9-5 favorite.

United trainer Richard Mandella said on HRRN Radio and TVG Thursday that United has a swollen front right ligament. He has two Grade 2 wins this year, which includes the John Henry Turf Championship at Santa Anita last out and in the Eddie Read at Del Mar in July.

The 6-year-old son of Giant's Causeway, who had competed in the last two Turf's, was 20-1 on the morning line.

The pair of scratches opens the door to run to the first two also-eligibles for the Turf, Bolshoi Ballet and Channel Maker. Remaining on the also-eligible list are Mogul and Friar's Road.
