Medaglia d'Amour has been scratched from the $2 million Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic on Friday at Churchill Downs after spiking a temperature.

''She coughed a couple of times, too, so we can't run her like that,'' trainer Ben Cecil said Thursday.

Medaglia d'Amour is winless in three races this season.

Meanwhile, Gung Ho was withdrawn from Saturday's $1 million Juvenile Turf because of muscle soreness.

''Trainer Mike Maker didn't like the way he was walking this morning,'' owner Ken Ramsey said.

The defection of Gung Ho opened the door for Tequilla Factor to run in the Juvenile Turf.
