Trot Insider has learned that Lazarus N has been withdrawn from Saturday's (Oct. 13) Dan Rooney Invitational at Yonkers Raceway.
A tweet from trainer Jimmy Takter indicated that the New Zealand pacing superstar developed a cough over the past few days, thus prompting his scratch from the Rooney, one of two $250,000 invitational events on the Yonkers International Trot undercard.
McWicked, who twice defeated Lazarus N this season, most recently in a 1:46.2 mile at The Red Mile, has been installed as the 2-1 morning-line favourite in the race.
