Japanese dual Classic winner Stars On Earth (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}) has sustained an injury to her right foreleg and will be out until the autumn, www.tospo-keiba.jp reported on Saturday morning. Stars On Earth had been grazing in a paddock at the Yamamoto Training Centre when a slight swelling was observed in her right foreleg on May 25. After an X-ray of the limb was performed on Friday, a displaced bone fragment was discovered. The area will be re-examined at the Miura Training Centre next week.
The Shadai Race Horse colourbearer captured the G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) in April and added the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) to her haul on May 22. A start in the third leg of the Japanese fillies' Triple Crown, the Oct. 16 G1 Shuka Sho at Hashin, has not been ruled out provided the filly heals in a timely manner.
