While most of the equine team is on track for the trip across the water, Jack Kennedy, sidelined with a broken leg, continues to race against time, but Gordon Elliott is not giving up hope that his stable jockey will win his fitness race.
“We’re keeping everything crossed that he’ll be back. He’s going to the hospital on Thursday, and then to Dubai for a week for a bit of sun. It will be tight, and he knows that. It will be down to the wire, but if he’s back he’ll be riding everything. He’s number one now, and all these horses are here waiting for him.
