Last out G2 Richmond S. winner Supremacy (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) will bypass Friday's G2 Gimcrack S. and train up to the Sept. 26 G1 Middle Park S. after returning an unsatisfactory scope.
“His scope wasn't perfect so that's the main reason, but with the rain forecast that was another factor as well,” said trainer Clive Cox. “France [Saturday's G1 Prix Morny] was definitely off the list. There was heavy ground forecast. We're running Nando Parrado there instead.
“The Gimcrack was a bit of an after thought, but I'm afraid he didn't scope well and for that reason he won't be running this week. It's just one of those things. He's a very special horse and our plan would be very much, all being well, we'll have him right for the Middle Park.”
