Fabre stays patient with Classic plans
Earthlight and Victor Ludorum raring to go when racing resumes.
Andre Fabre will wait until the resumption of racing is confirmed before making plans for star colts Earthlight and Victor Ludorum. On March 16 France Galop announced the suspension of all meetings in France until April 15, as the country attempts to get to grips with coronavirus pandemic which has swept the world. Earthlight was the second highest-rated two-year-old in Europe last season – behind fellow Godolphin-owned juvenile Pinatubo – after winning each of his five starts, including Group One triumphs in the Prix Morny at Deauville and the Middle Park at Newmarket.Fabre said: “Earthlight is in very good shape, but we can’t make any plans. All we can do is keep training the horses and see what happens. “We’ve seen the racing cancelled in France, then Britain, then Ireland. It’s difficult for everybody.
