Cloud Computing, the 2017 Preakness Stakes winner who made his 2018 debut last Saturday, is “on the sidelines again” due to an ankle chip, trainer Chad Brown told the Daily Racing Form.
The 4-year-old son of Maclean’s Music suffered from a similar ailment and was shut down last year after missing the board in the Travers Stakes.
Over the weekend, Cloud Computing returned in Belmont Park’s Grade 3 Westchester Stakes, finishing fourth of five, but only a head behind the winner at the wire of a thriller.
The ankle chip will require surgery.
“Hopefully, we’ll give him another try later in the year,” Brown told DRF. “It’s disappointing. He’s a horse we were excited to have a good year with. He was training really, really well going into the race.”
