Collusion Illusion was withdrawn from Saturday’s Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes after grabbing a quarter in training on Friday, trainer Mark Glatt said late Saturday morning.

Collusion Illusion won the 2021 Bing Crosby.

“He was okay on it this morning,” Glatt said. “He wasn’t going to be 100 percent, so our ownership group and myself decided it was in our best interest to not running.

“I expect he will be fine after a few days here and we can get right back at it.”

Collusion Illusion, a 4-year-old colt by Twirling Candy, has won 5 of 9 starts and earned $474,751. Collusion Illusion has not raced since a third behind Charlatan in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes for 3-year-olds at Santa Anita last December.

Glatt said two races in August at Del Mar are possible for Collusion Illusion – the Grade 3 Green Flash Handicap at five furlongs on turf on Aug. 22, or the Grade 2 Pat O’Brien Stakes at seven furlongs on Aug. 28.

“The Green Flash is something to consider,” Glatt said. “I’ve always wanted to try him on the grass.”
