Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 25, 2021 Journalists Share Posted March 25, 2021 Shadwell homebred Albasheer (Ire) (Shamardal), a debut winner last July for trainer Owen Burrows before finishing second in the G2 Champagne S., could miss a Guineas bid this spring after meeting with a setback. “Unfortunately he's had a little bit of a niggle,” said Burrows. “We're just in the process of investigating exactly what is bothering him. There are no immediate plans for him at the moment. “He certainly won't be making a Guineas trial, and I'd say it would be highly unlikely, depending on what we find, that he'd make the Guineas. We're getting pretty close. It's very recent, and we're still in the investigating stages.” Albasheer was last seen finishing sixth in the G1 Dewhurst S. on Oct. 10. “I had been very pleased with him, so it's very disappointing and frustrating,” Burrows said. “Fingers crossed it's nothing too serious, but with the timing of it, we're going to be struggling. Ideally, the plan was to try for the [G3] Craven or the [G3] Greenham. He won't be making them, and I won't be rushing him just to make a Guineas. He's a proper nice horse, he's going to want a bit of time. How much time, we don't know yet.” The post Albasheer Guineas Bid In Doubt appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
