Sidney’s Candy, who was withdrawn from Saturday’s San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita after he was found to be walking unsound Friday, will undergo a nuclear scan test on his right hind leg Monday, trainer John Sadler said.

Sadler downplayed the severity of the problem, which he said was first noticed Friday.

“He was off a little behind,” Sadler said. “I don’t think it’s serious. He wasn’t really 100 percent. It’s his right hind. I don’t think it’s anything major.”

The nuclear scan test is more detailed than a conventional X-ray and can reveal hard-to-find injuries.
