Iffranesia A Non-Runner . . .
Sadly IFFRANESIA is a non-runner this evening in the 6.45pm, Fillies Handicap Stakes over 6f at Wolverhampton . . . She travelled half the journey to the racetrack, and became agitated in the horsebox, showing all the classic signs of developing a spot of colic . . . Our travelling head girl telephoned us on route and it was decided there were no alternatives but to turn her around ASAP. She arrived home an hour later with our Vet on stand by to see her straight away . . . Luckily all caught quickly and it was without a doubt in our minds the correct decision to declare her a non-runner . . . It is a great shame as this was the ideal opportunity to test her at 6f, on a track she loves, with a Jockey on board who knows her well . . . She will now have a day or two out in the paddock to relax and we will hopefully have the green light to race her again in a week or two . . .
