Spendthrift Far?s two-time champion filly Beholder (Henny Hughes) has been scratched from the Nov. 3 Fasig-Tipton November sale as a result of the illness that knocked her out of a defense of her GI Breeder? Cup Distaff title. “Beholder continues to recover from her illness, and while her fever is down and sheís acting much better, veterinarian Jeff Blea of Von Bluecher, Blea, and Hunkin Inc. in California has advised us not to ship her cross country to Kentucky right now,” said Spendthrift Farm General Manager Ned Toffey. “We had radiographs taken of her lungs [Friday] and she did have some inflammation, so weíre going to do right by Beholder and allow her to continue to get better. Sheíll be scratched from the November sale, and Dr. Blea believes she probably needs 30-60 days to recover. Then Beholder should be ready to resume training, pending a full recovery.”
