Default Dublin comeback interrupted.. by retirement

Hopeful winner in '09, Dublin retired with injury
By David Grening

Dublin, winner of the Grade 1 Hopeful in 2009, suffered a fractured sesamoid in his right foreleg and has been retired from racing, trainer D. Wayne Lukas said Wednesday.

Dublin returned from a 14-month layoff last Saturday at Churchill Downs, where he finished sixth in a second-level allowance race. Lukas said the injury was detected back at the barn.

“We really were expecting that he’d have a hell of a summer,” Lukas said. “He had five or six bullet works, and we were getting him ready for Saratoga and the fall. We thought we were going to see his potential come full circle.”

The headline on Bris before he ran was "Dublin Takes First Step to Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile". . . How is there a person in racing that doesn't realize what a joke Lukas has become?

I am starting to think that Westrock's coffee contains opium.
