Winters targets Quevega clash for Missunited

Missunited could be set for a winter break after running another fantastic race in defeat at the Curragh on Sunday, with trainer Mick Winters looking forward to a possible clash with Quevega at Cheltenham in March.

The six-year-old clinched a memorable victory in the Galway Hurdle in early August and reverted to the Flat to beat Eye Of The Storm in a Listed Flat race at the same venue.

She had to make do with the runner-up spot behind the same opponent in Sunday’s Loughbrown Stakes and Winters is now leaning towards letting his star mare have a break.
