Arc skips Ebor

Leading fancy Arc Bleu will not line up in next week’s totesport Ebor at York, with connections electing to give him a break following his Galway Festival exertions.

Having got up on the line to beat Halla San in the Northumberland Plate on his penultimate start, Tony Martin’s seven-year-old ran a fine race in defeat when third in the G.P.T Galway Handicap.
