Mr. and Mrs. William Warren’s Denis of Cork, third in the 2008 Kentucky Derby and second in that year’s Belmont, has been retired, trainer David Carroll said Thursday afternoon.
“Denis of Cork is currently out of training, and plans are being made for the next stage of his career,” said Carroll. “He suffered a soft tissue injury to his right front foreleg and it has not responded to treatment.”
The son of Harlan’s Holiday won the second race of his career at Fair Grounds two years ago and was then sent to Arkansas where he captured Oaklawn’s Grade III Southwest Stakes by two and a quarter lengths.
Denis of Cork’s last recorded work was at Fair Grounds Jan. 4, where he breezed five furlongs in 1:01.80.
