Big Fish, winner of the $200,000 California Cup Derby at Santa Anita last month, has been sidelined with a hairline fracture of a hind ankle and will not race again until the summer, trainer David Hofmans said on Thursday.
The injury was diagnosed earlier this month.
“He’ll need a few months off,” Hofmans said. “It’s disappointing, but he will be okay. We’re pointing for Del Mar.”
