According to the Daily Racing Form, the four-year-old was scratched from the Grade 2 San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita after he was found to be walking unsound on Friday.

Trainer John Sadler explained: "He was off a little behind - 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."

Sadler said he is hoping that Sidney's Candy will be back from the Strub Stakes over 1m1f on February 5.
