Default St Nicholas Abbey suffers career ending injury

St Nicholas Abbey set for critical surgery

Quote:
The six-year-old suffered a fractured pastern during a routine piece of work at Ballydoyle on Tuesday morning as he was going through his final preparation for Saturday's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, a race for which Europe's all-time leading money-earner had been expected to be favourite.

Coolmore Stud tweeted: "St Nicholas Abbey suffered a serious career ending injury at Ballydoyle this morning, vets are currently attending to him.

"We hope to save him for a career at stud."

A later update added: "St Nicholas Abbey is currently in a comfortable condition at Fethard Equine Hospital, where he is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning."
