Layers take ‘injured’ Manduro out of Arc market
The Andre Fabre-trained colt – the highest-rated horse in the world – was winning over a mile and a half for the first time and all looked set fair for a tilt at Europe’s middle-distance championship next month.
Connections of the Baron Georg Von Ullman-owned four-year-old declined to comment last evening but reports from the racecourse suggested the horse was lame behind on his right leg with a suspected fracture. Connections were waiting to see X-ray results before making any statement, which is expected today.
