Karanja to be saved for next season

KARANJA, so unlucky when unseating Nina Carberry at the start of the Cheltenham Festival bumper, will not race again this season.

Trainer Victor Dartnall has decided not to look for another bumper opportunity at either Aintree or Punchestown, instead opting to prepare the six-year-old for a jumping campaign next season.

"He's being schooled and will then be put away for the autumn," Dartnall confirmed today.
