Carlsbad euthanized after fracturing ankle following workout

Multiple graded stakes winner Carlsbad, expected to be the early favorite for the La Brea Stakes (G1) next week, fractured an ankle as she was galloping out after a workout on Saturday morning at Santa Anita Park and was euthanized on the track.

Trainer Jeff Mullins told Daily Racing Form that the three-year-old Rocky Bar filly sustained an open fracture of her right ankle on the clubhouse turn following a handy seven-furlong workout in 1:26.80 on the synthetic Pro-Ride surface.

Owned by breeder Dennis Weir, the Arizona-bred filly won four races, all stakes, from seven starts this season. Undefeated in three starts as a two-year-old with trainer Kevin Lewis, she began 2009 with an eye-popping 13¼-length win in the Arizona Oaks in February at Turf Paradise.

Transferred to Mullins, she won three graded stakes, beginning with the Santa Paula Stakes (G3) in March at Santa Anita, the Hollywood Oaks (G2) in June, and the Rancho Bernardo Handicap (G3) in September at Del Mar. The dark bay or brown filly finished second to Informed Decision in the Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes (G2) on October 10 at Keeneland Race Course in her most recent start.

Overall, Carlsbad posted seven victories and two runner-up finishes in ten career starts and earned $437,126. A half sister to multiple stakes winner Staten Island, she is out of stakes winner Kits Peak, by Pine Bluff.
