Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 5, 2018 Journalists Share Posted September 5, 2018 Danny Tudhope will replace the injured PJ McDonald aboard triple Group 1 winner Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) in the G1 Matron S. on Sept. 15. McDonald has ridden Laurens in all eight careers starts, including wins in this year’s G1 Prix Saint-Alary and G1 Prix de Diane, but he will miss out on her latest assignment after fracturing an ankle in a paddock accident earlier this week. Laurens is trained by Karl Burke, who also revealed Ben Curtis would ride Havana Grey (GB) (Havana Gold {Ire}) in the G1 Flying Five S. the following day. “It’s very unfortunate what happened to PJ, but we’ve had a good chat about it and that is the route we’ve decided to go down,” Burke said. Of Laurens’s latest eclipse when beating just two home in the G1 Yorkshire Oaks upped to a mile and a half, he added, “She’s been 100% since York, nothing physical has shown up, she just didn’t stay. She’s a filly who likes to get on with things, she was a bit keen when she won the Prix de Diane. We were confident she was going to stay but until you try you don’t know. We’re looking forward to the challenge of taking on Alpha Centauri.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
