Peter Brant and Allen Stable's Paid Up Subscriber (Candy Ride {Arg}) is doing well following an operation to repair a fractured right ankle. The injury was found following the bay's 32 1/2-length romp in Saratoga's GIII Shuvee S. Sunday against just two rivals.
“We are picking her up today,” trainer Char Brown told the NYRA notes team Thursday. “She did fine. She'll be on the shelf for a couple of months.”
The conditioner continued, “There are highs and lows sometimes in horseracing. She won such a large margin with the last stages of the race. Not even exerting herself. It's hard to imagine she was injured. These things happen and thankfully it wasn't anything serious; very repairable, and she's doing fine.”
Previously campaigned by William Lawrence and Klaravich Stables and trainer Al Stall, Jr., Paid Up Subscriber was purchased by these connections for $1.1 million at the 2016 Fasig-Tipton November sale and transferred to Brown. Third in the GI Madison S. Apr. 8 and fourth in the GI La Troienne S. May 5, the 5-year-old gave champion Songbird (Medaglia d'Oro) a run for her money when second in the GI Ogden Phipps S. at Belmont June 10 prior to her Shuvee score.
