Three-year-old Beckford came out of a recent workout with a leg fracture and won’t be making his intended start in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot later this month.

Trainer Brendan Walsh said Beckford had suffered a condylar fracture while working. Successful surgery was performed on the colt Monday and there is hope for a full recovery and a return to racing next year, Walsh said.

“It’s something he should be able to recover from but obviously it’s disappointing,” said Walsh.

Beckford campaigned in England last year at 2 but was moved into Walsh’s barn for his 3-year-old season and scored an eye-catching victory April 28 in the William Walker Stakes at Churchill Downs.
