Quiet Giant to be sold Nov 7

Quiet Giant, who was expected to run in the Grade 1 Spinster Stakes on Sunday at Keeneland, has been taken out of training and will not race again before her sale next month, according to her trainer, Todd Pletcher, and Chris Baker, the farm manager for the late Edward P. Evans, who bred Quiet Giant and whose estate owns her.

Evans’s bloodstock is being dispersed at Keeneland in a month, and Quiet Giant is scheduled to go through the auction ring on Nov. 7. Baker said she had a “minor setback” this week “that will prevent her from running between now and the sale.” Quiet Giant was sent from Pletcher’s barn at Belmont Park to Evans’s Virginia farm on Thursday.
