Bleu flop puts future in balance

The future of Edredon Bleu is in the balance following a lacklustre performance by the 2003 King George VI Chase winner at Wincanton today.

The 13-year-old started an easy-to-back 4-1 chance for the Country Gentlemen’s Association Chase but was in trouble early on the second circuit and was pulled up by Jim Culloty before the end of the back stretch.
