Ouija Board misses final farewell

Ouija Board has been ruled out of the Hong Kong Vase and retired by her owner Lord Derby hours after a problem was detected on the mare’s near-fore.

The five-year-old, a hot favourite for the Group 1 Vase tomorrow, was found to be sore when undergoing a routine examination by a HKJC vet and was officially scratched from the race by her trainer Ed Dunlop.
