Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 18, 2020 Journalists Share Posted August 18, 2020 Group 1 winner Aspetar (Fr) (Al Kazeem {GB}) has been scratched from Wednesday’s G1 Juddmonte International S., Racing Post reported on Tuesday. The G1 Preis von Europa hero’s latest bloodwork was abnormal, and trainer Roger Charlton opted to skip the York showpiece. “I wasn’t convinced his last piece of work was up to scratch,” Charlton told Racing Post. “We did a routine blood test on him this morning, got the results this evening and decided it wouldn’t be right for him to run in a Group 1 race.” The 5-year-old is a possibility for the G2 Prix Dollar on Arc weekend in October, with a trip to Australia also under consideration. “There aren’t any obvious targets, but the Prix Dollar on Arc weekend is a possibility,” Charlton added of the July 25 G2 York S. hero. “We are still considering going to Australia for the G1 Cox Plate, but that will depend on the Australian authorities. Ultimately, the Emir’s Trophy in Qatar in February will be high on his agenda.” The post Aspetar Scratched from International appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
