Foot problem rules Dar Re Mi out of York

JOHN Gosden’s star mare Dar Re Mi has been ruled out of next week’s Darley Yorkshire Oaks.

The three-time Group One winner was forced to miss last month’s King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes due to a foot problem and connections feel she would not be fit enough to do herself justice next week due to the work she missed.

Gosden’s racing secretary Peter Shoemark said: “She lost a bit of time due to the foot abscess that caused her to miss the King George and the Yorkshire Oaks has just come a bit too soon for her.
