Haatef out for rest of season

SMART Irish sprinter Haatef will miss the rest of the season after suffering a fracture.

The four-year-old, trained by Kevin Prendergast, was to have run in the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot on Saturday week.

“He fractured his hind cannonbone two days ago and has had surgery,” said the Co Kildare-based handler.
