SEACREST OUT OF OAKS
Reproducción del artículo de M. Fortune sobre la lesión de Freedom Seacrest.
Saturday, June 18th
The hotly fancied Freedom Seacrest has been withdrawn from the second semi-final of the Sporting Press Irish Oaks at Shelbourne on Saturday night.
Trainer Michael Pomfret informed Shelbourne that the bitch has not recovered from a problem picked up in the competition. Hopes that the flying young bitch would be sufficiently recovered tonight to run in the race were dashed this morning.
Her unfortunate absence means that the second heat will be a five-runner affair and this greatly improves Skywalker Queen’s already bright prospects of winning the bitch classic for a second year on the trot.
