Belmont Stakes-winning filly Rags to Riches will miss the Breeders' Cup Distaff next month after suffering a hairline fracture to her right front leg.

"The injury is not career ending, and she is expected to make a full recovery," trainer Todd Pletcher said in a statement.

Rags to Riches suffered the injury to her pastern during the Gazelle Stakes at Belmont Park on Saturday. The filly finished second in the $250,000 Grade I race.

The race was Rags to Riches' first since winning the June 9 Belmont Stakes when she became the first filly to win the mile-and-a-half event in 102 years.
