Cy Fair Not “Acting Her Usual Self the Past Few Days”, Will Miss Royal Ascot Tilt

Wait 5 sec.

Medallion Racing, Swinbank Stables, Joey Platts and Mark Stanton's Cy Fair (Not This Time) will miss an intended engagement in the June 16 G1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot. The King Charles is a 'Win and You're In' to the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, which will be held at Keeneland this fall.A Medallion Racing statement read on X Monday: “We have made the decision to skip Royal Ascot with Cy Fair. George [Weaver] felt like she wasn't acting her usual self the past few days. Out of an abundance of caution, we missed her final breeze for Ascot and didn't feel comfortable shipping her yesterday until we felt she was 100%.”“She is completely sound and hopefully will be back on the work tab in the next week or two.”Named a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' following a Saratoga score last summer, the bay was narrowly bested in the Bolton Landing Stakes before taking her next two–Woodbine's Algonquin Stakes and the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar last Halloween. She kicked off her sophomore campaign with a third behind Slay the Day in the GIII Limestone Stakes on Apr. 10 before turning the table on that rival to win the GIII Mamzelle Stakes at Churchill Downs on Apr. 30.The post Cy Fair Not “Acting Her Usual Self the Past Few Days”, Will Miss Royal Ascot Tilt appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
