G1 St Leger candidate Wells Farhh Go (Ire) (Farhh {GB}) has been ruled out of that Sept. 15 Classic and the remainder of the year after suffering a fracture on the gallops on Tuesday morning.
“It's a real sickener, he cantered this morning and came back lame behind,” said trainer Tim Easterby. “It turns out it's a stress fracture and that's his season finished. Hopefully he'll be back next year, but you can obviously not say these things for certain. I suppose the saving grace is that it's not a tendon.”
“If everything does go to plan with how it heals, I'd like to think he'd be back for the start of next season, but obviously you just don't know at this stage,” Easterby added.
Wells Farhh Go won the G3 Acomb S. last year and had scooped the G3 Bahrain Trophy in July before finishing fourth in the Aug. 22 G2 Great Voltigeur S.
