Breeders' Cup Winner to Miss Minstrel

Breeders' Cup winner Hit It A Bomb (War Front) will not make his return to action this weekend. Aidan O'Brien's lightly-raced 3-year-old had been in line to have his first start since his win at Keeneland in October in the G2 Friarstown Stud Minstrel S. at The Curragh on Sunday.

But O'Brien said,”He's good. He's in on Sunday, but he won't run. He's done very well since his break, but he'll take a day away before he runs.”

The War Front colt struck Grade I gold in the Juvenile Turf in America, after winning at The Curragh on his debut before following up in Listed company at Dundalk.
