Icon Project, winner of the Grade I Personal Ensign Stakes by 131/2 lengths on Aug. 30, will not make her expected start in the Grade I Spinster at Keeneland on Sunday after coming up with an undisclosed issue Wednesday, according to owner Andrew Rosen.
"(Trainer) Marty Wolfson called me yesterday and said she was having a little problem, a little setback and that we should pass on this race," Rosen said Thursday. "Hopefully we'll still be ready for the Breeders' Cup but when you miss time, it's never good. But we are still hopeful."
When asked to elaborate on Icon Project's ailment, Rosen said it was an issue "that would be clearer in a few days" and that there is no time frame yet as to when the daughter of Empire Maker would resume regular training.
