Bullard will be scratched from Saturday’s Grade 2 Rebel Stakes after spiking a temperature, co-owner West Point Thoroughbreds reported in an X post.
Trained by Michael McCarthy, the Gun Runner colt won his debut in September then rallied to beat Madaket Road, another Rebel entry, in the Bob Hope (G3). In his only start since, Bullard finished third in the San Vicente (G2), which was won by Barnes.
