What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Snow Fairy...

On this morning's Racing Post web-site from England, trainer Ed Dunlop says Snow Fairy will miss her trip to Dubai and a shot at the G1 Sheema Classic because she's re-cooperating from the injury she sustained during a workout Sha Tin when she was preparing to run in this year's Hong Kong Vase.

Snow Fairy's trainer, Ed Dunlop, just announced a couple of days ago on England's Racing Post web-site that he and her owners have decided to try the G1 Hong Kong Vase over 12f with Snow Fairy this year. She won the G1 Hong Kong Cup over 10f last season at Sha Tin. Snow Fairy is seeking to become the first horse to ever win both the G1 Hong Kong Cup and the G1 Hong Kong Vase. Dunlop also went on to say that his recent G1 Melbourne Cup runner-up, Red Cadeaux, will also run in the G1 Hong Kong Vase, too.

Rumor has it that Snow Fairy has been injured and that her future racing career is uncertain.
  • likin sparks · Correct, she has been injured and is done for the year. The extent of the injury sustained during a cantering session is uncertain. · 180 days ago ·

  • atamulonis · Her trainer is saying that she will remain in training for her five-year old season, so the injury must not be too serious. · 180 days ago ·

  • rorschach1992 · Darn, I was hoping we could possibly see her here in America for the Breeders' Cup. But I give her a huge shot at winning these Far East races. Her campaign was slow to get off the ground this year, but she's just kept getting better and better. If she hasn't already peaked, which I highly doubt she has, she'll be a force to be reckoned with in those races again. · 230 days ago ·

Two weeks ago it appeared that the dowager Qatar Arc de Triomphe would be run on good-to-soft ground in typical cooler Autumn weather. A full complement of 28 horses were expected to run eliciting the usual fears of lessor horses with uneven talents endangering and hampering better horses.Read More

After Saturday’s Irish Champion Stakes, I’m fairly certain that many of us have run out of ways to describe So You Think. To borrow a line I heard in a commercial, “…all I can say is ‘wow’…” It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve watched So You Think race, he still continues to amaze me. That was the...Read More

  • footlick · @medlocke- thanks. I knew she was running in the St Leger, but didn't knnow if they would try the Arc or not. Would that free Frankie up to ride Snow Fairy if she goes? · 265 days ago ·

  • Rossington · @mary.schweitzer, That's correct!! It was on England's Racing Post web-site this morning that Aidan O'Brien intends to send Cape Blanco back to America to run in the G1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont on Oct. 2nd. The Joe Hirsch being 1-1/2 race should put Cape Blanco spot on for this year's Breeders Cup Turf. Likely Clement will send Winchester out after Cape Blanco instead of Gio Ponti this time. The race being 1-1/2 instead of 1-1/4. · 265 days ago ·
