Brahminy Kite grounded

Well-regarded juvenile Brahminy Kite will not line up for tomorrow’s totesport Silver Tankard Stakes at Pontefract after being discovered to be slightly lame.

The Mark Johnston-trained colt has raced just twice to date, both in August, finishing second at Beverley first time out before scoring impressively at Sandown from the useful Destinate, after which he received rave reviews from jockey Darryll Holland.
