Midshipman, the Eclipse-award winning juvenile horse of the year and winner of the 2008 Breeder's Cup Juvenile, will miss the Kentucky Derby, as well as the other Triple Crown races this year, due to an injury sustained while exercising on Saturday.
According to the Godolphin website, Midshipman sustained a "minor soft-tissue injury to his left fore leg during routine exercise." The injury occurred at Godolphin's Al Quoz training center in Dubai, where Midshipman had been prepping for the United Arab Emirates Derby on March 28th.
According to the Thoroughbred Times website, Midshipman was acquired by Godolphin when Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum purchased Stonerside Stables via his Darley Farm breeding operation. Midshipman was one of the horses included in that purchase.
