Roger Charlton has ruled Time Test (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) out of the next Wednesday's G1 Juddmonte International S. after a disappointing gallop yesterday morning.
Releasing the update via his website, the trainer commented, “We weren't totally happy with his work this morning. He is likely to be given a short break before any future plans are made.”
However, there was more positive news about another Juddmonte homebred, Fair Eva (GB), who has thus far proved to be the star of Frankel's (GB) illustrious first crop and heads north to Yorkshire in a bid to add the G2 Sky Bet Lowther S. to her recent victory in the G3 Juddmonte Princess Margaret S.
“Fair Eva worked well this morning and heads for the Lowther at York. George Baker rode her and was very happy. She won well at Ascot, in a good time, and the Lowther sits well in the calendar,” said the trainer.
Also joining the York raiding party is 6-year-old stayer Quest For More (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), who is being aimed at the G2 Lonsdale Cup a week on Friday, while Dan Hunt's homebred Imperial Aviator (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}), who is now owned in partnership with Qatar Racing, will take his chance in the G2 Great Voltigeur S.
Charlton also issued an update on Saleh Al Homaizi and Imad Al Sagar's Decorated Knight (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), who runs in Saturday's GI Arlington Million.
He said, “Decorated Knight has settled in very well at Arlington for the Million on Saturday. His regular work rider says he feels great, and he has not left any food since he arrived. All the tweets from the local journalists show him rolling on the grass, if he is not eating it, which is his little party trick.”
