Breeders' Cup winner Audarya (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) will skip an intended start in the G2 Prix Corrida in France on Wednesday and the G3 Brigadier Gerard S. a day later has also been mooted, according to trainer James Fanshawe.
“She's fine,” he said. “She was just a bit quiet at the weekend, and it's a long trip to France, so that's why we decided not to go. We decided to give her a bit more time. It's just looking at her–she was just not her usual bouncy self. So that's why we haven't gone this week. I was hoping to run her this week, and she's not far from a race.”
Races under consideration for the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf heroine include the G1 Prince Of Wales's S. at Royal Ascot in mid-June and the G1 Pretty Polly S. at The Curragh on June 27. The dark bay also struck in the G1 Prix Jean Romanet two starts prior to her Breeders' Cup heroics.
“The Prince of Wales's would be a tough question to ask her first time out,” added Fanshawe. “But I'm sure she'll tell us. There's the Pretty Polly 10 days later, so there are various options–we'll see how she is.”
