Injured Manduro out of Arc
and may not race again



by Racing Post staff


TRIUMPH turned to despair for connections of the brilliant Manduro whose Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe challenge was over shortly after he recorded his latest win.

They conceded their horse may not race again after he was found to be lame following a comfortable victory in the Group 2 Prix Foy at Longchamp.

Trainer Andre Fabre was on Sunday night awaiting the results of x-rays but acknowledged Manduro's brilliant campaign was over.

"I don't know the results of the examination yet but he was lame behind after the race and has probably suffered a small fracture," he said.

"The vets are carrying out x-rays now. I knew there was a problem a few minutes after the race. It's a terrible blow."

I'm gutted.

Heard he made the others look like maiden claimers today (probably whilst being injured)

To lose such a superstar from racing after an awesome performance is really hard to take.

Best turf horse in the world at the moment by far, and i don't think anyone could come up with an argument to prove that wrong. He hs shown he has the speed to win at a mile, the class to beat the likes of Dylan Thomas and the stamina wo win over 12 furlongs.

Very disappointing news.

Terrible news. He was a really unique horse who was class at 8-12f. A real shame that he just wasnt able to prove how good he was by competing in the Arc and BC Classic.
