A leg injury has taken Lee Lewis' Eye Dazzler out of consideration for the 130th Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) on April 30. Churchill Downs officials have suspended wagering on the 3-year-old filly prior to today's start of betting in Pool 2 of the Kentucky Oaks Future Wager ("KOFW").

Trainer Mark Hennig told Churchill Downs officials Thursday morning that a chip had been discovered in the left knee of Eye Dazzler, a homebred daughter of Boundary who had finished a close second to Miss Coronado in the Davona Dale (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 7. He said the filly would undergo surgery to remove the chip today and would remain on the sidelines for 60 to 90 days.

"We didn't enter her in the Bonnie Miss (at Gulfstream Park) because she came back a little funky after a workout," said Hennig. "We watched her closely for a few days and finally found a chip in her knee."

Eye Dazzler has a record of 2-2-2 in seven starts with career earnings of $132,040. She scored an easy victory in a January allowance race at Gulfstream Park in the only other race of her 3-year-old season. Her 2-year-old campaign included third-place finishes in Belmont Park's Matron (gr. I) and Saratoga's Adirondack Stakes (gr. II) and a runner-up finish in Aqueduct's Tempted Stakes (gr. III).

Kentucky Oaks Future Wager rules state that betting on a wagering interest in any pool must be suspended if it is determined that an illness or injury would prevent that horse from competing in the Kentucky Oaks. There are no refunds in the Kentucky Oaks Future Wager.
