Group 2 Autumn Stakes (1400m) winner Snow Patrol is likely to miss his autumn campaign after suffering a knee injury.

The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained four-year-old, owned by Ace Bloodstock, has been sidelined following the setback.

The son of Contributer has not raced competitively since finishing seventh in the Group 3 Gunsynd Classic (1600m) at Eagle Farm on June 15, though he did have a barrier trial at Rosehill in early October, finishing in the same position.

“They’re going to put him in a paddock for a month and let him rest up,” Ace Bloodstock’s syndicate manager Darcy Mangan told Racing.com.

“He was on his way up to Sydney, they just thought he was a little bit off and they did a scan and there was a fracture.

“I’d say he will probably miss the autumn.”

The setback comes as a blow to connections, with Snow Patrol showing significant promise earlier in his career.
