Group 1 Winner Angel Bleu To Miss The Rest Of The Season With Injury

Marc Chan's Group 1 winner Angel Bleu (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) will miss the rest of the season having picked up an injury in the G1 Qatar Sussex S., according to trainer Ralph Beckett who tweeted the news this morning. The grey requires surgery on a fetlock but is expected to be back in action in 2023.

Beckett said, “He ran very well at Glorious Goodwood, finishing a running-on fifth in the Sussex S. Unfortunately, he sustained an injury to his fetlock that needs surgery. This means that he is not going to run again in 2022. However, the injury is pretty minor and he should be back next year.”

A winner of the G2 Vintage S. at Goodwood last July, the colt scooped a pair of French Group 1s in October of 2021–the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere and the Criterium International. He resumed with a third in the G3 Greenham S. at Newbury on Apr. 16, and, although off the board in the June 14 G1 St James's Palace S., he was rounding back into form when fifth to Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the Sussex.

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.

Injury Curtails Sir Bob Parker’s G1 Cazoo Derby Run

Sir Bob Parker (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) will not travel to Epsom to contest the G1 Cazoo Derby on Saturday week as he has been injured, according to trainer David Menuisier. The Michael Watt-owned colt won at second asking at Chantilly in April and was third in the G2 Prix Greffulhe to Onesto (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) on May 8.

“Sad to report our Derby hope Sir Bob Parker has sustained an injury today [Saturday] which will see him out of action for a little while,” Menuisier tweeted on Saturday. “So close, but so far from the dream race.”

Just under a score of colts remain in the Blue Riband, with Sir Michael Stoute's undefeated G2 Dante S. hero Desert Crown (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) leading the betting, with Aidan O'Brien's G3 Derby Trial S. victor Stone Age (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) close behind.
