The horse Skippylongstocking has been withdrawn from Saturday's Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap after encountering difficulties boarding a flight to California. Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. opted to remove the 7-year-old from the flight to avoid risks related to medication rules. This leaves a reduced field of six runners for the prestigious race.
