Injury is forcing the Kentucky Derby runner-up off the track. Baffert's Pioneer of the Nile has been retired because of a soft tissue injury in his left front leg. Baffert found the injury this weekend at Santa Anita where the colt is stabled. A scan showed there was a chance the horse could return to the track in six to eight months but Baffert says he decided it wasn't worth the risk.
