Trainer Jerome Reynier has been dealt a hammer blow with the news that recent G2 Cape Verdi runner-up Quid Pro Quo (Lance) would face a period on the sidelines following a “freak accident” on the training grounds at Meydan.
The Team Valor-owned filly had been gearing up towards a tilt at the G2 Balanchine Stakes at Meydan. However, her Dubai campaign has now been cast in serious doubt after connections believe she has sustained a stress fracture to her pelvis during a routine canter.
Team Valor's Barry Irwin said, “I am thankful for the immediate attention from the veterinarian team at Meydan and all associated with the Reynier yard for quick assistance.”
A leading filly in her native South Africa, Quid Pro Quo was purchased by Team Valor in December 2024.
