Hey Gaman set for late start after setback

Tate hopes seven-furlong specialist will still be back this season.

James Tate is hoping Hey Gaman can return to action later in the year following a setback which has delayed his seasonal reappearance.

The talented five-year-old enjoyed a successful campaign in 2019, winning Listed and Group Three races on his first two starts and running with credit at Group One and Group Two level later on.

He earned a trip to America for the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Santa Anita and was not disgraced, eventually being beaten four and three-quarter lengths in seventh place behind Uni.

“He just had a little setback a few weeks ago,”said Tate.

“I hope it’s not serious and hopefully you’ll see him back later in the year.

“It’s too early to talk about plans.”
