Karpino Out Of German Derby

Qatar Racing’s unbeaten G2 Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen (German 2000 Guineas) winner Karpino (Ger) (Cape Cross {Ire}) has been ruled out of Sunday’s G1 Deutsches Derby after sustaining an injury Monday. Trainer Andreas Wohler said he thinks the injury is not serious, but was unable to give a timeline for the colt’s return to the races. Karpino is also entered in the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot July 25. 

“We’ve taken him out of the German Derby,” Wohler confirmed. “He had an injury this morning. It’s nothing serious, hopefully, and we’ll see. We’ll just have to see how everything works. It’s hard to say if he will make Ascot. We’ll have to see how the next couple of days are.”
