Robert la Penta is casting doubt as to whether last years Eclipse Award winning 2-year-old War Pass will ever race again. It seems that War Pass has made slow progress from his ankle fracture he sustained earlier this year.

"We took X-rays two or three weeks ago," La Penta said Tuesday. "He's not healing as quickly as we had hoped. . . . I'm going to talk to Will Farish to see if he'll entertain thoughts of running him as a 4-year-old."

Will Farish was sold a majority interest in War Pass last year and he is expected to go to stud next spring at Farish’s Lane’s End Farm. However there is little to gain, and chances are remote with War Pass racing again. War Pass has already proved he is a champion by winning all four of his starts last year, which included the Breeder’s Cup Juvenile.

War Pass has not raced since the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct in April, as after the race he was found to have a small fracture in his left front ankle. War pass is currently at Saratoga with his trainer Nick Zito.
