Godolphin Stable's E Dubai, winner of the Suburban Handicap over Lido Palace and Macho Uno, is questionable for the grade II, Saratoga Breeders' Cup Aug. 17. The Mr. Prospector colt suffered a bruised hoof at Belmont Park."We're not certain about that race," said Tom Albertrani, assistant to trainer Saeed bin Suroor. "He bruised it a couple of days ago. It's a pretty good bruise. It's too early to know if he'll run or not. We'll
probably have a better idea in a couple days."Albertrani said he does not know how E Dubai injured himself. The 4-year-old colt won the 2001 Dwyer (gr. II) and was second in the Peter Pan (gr. II), Travers (gr. I) and Super Derby (gr. I) last year.E Dubai has had hoof problems before. He did not run in Dubai over the winter because of heel problems that Albertrani suspects was due to a high salt content in the tracks there.
