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."
