Injury Rules Out Green Impact For The Year

[Wandering Eyes]

Group 2 winner Green Impact will miss the rest of the season after picking up an injury at York, according to trainer Jessica Harrington.

Successful in the G2 Champions Juvenile Stakes, the son of Wootton Bassett won the Listed Glencairn Stakes this June after running sixth in the G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. He was sixth in the G1 Irish Derby to Lambourn (Australia), and was most recently fourth in the G2 York Stakes at York last week.

“Green Impact won't run again this season. He got an injury in York,” said Harrington. “He'll be back next year.”

Another Harrington trainee, the G1 Futurity Trophy Stakes hero Hotazhell (Too Darn Hot) has multiple options for the remainder of his season. Third in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas to open his year in May, he was fifth in Sandown's G1 Eclipse Stakes in July and was a close fourth in the GI Saratoga Derby Invitational in the U.S. on August 2.

“We're waiting with Hotazhell and he could run at the Irish Champions Festival, he could go to France and there is also British Champions Day,” said Harrington of her charge, who prefers some give in the ground. “We'll run him when we get suitable ground.”
