Minzaal to make late start after leg injury
Royal Ascot date will be tight call for Burrows’ Commonwealth Cup hope.
Commonwealth Cup contender Minzaal will miss the first part of the season after having surgery on a leg injury. The Gimcrack Stakes winner sustained the damage in his box and is currently recuperating at his owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum’s Shadwell Stud. Trainer Owen Burrows is optimistic Minzaal will be back in action this season – but it could be a race against time to get him ready for his Group One objective over six furlongs at Royal Ascot.“He’s had to have surgery and he’s back at Shadwell at the moment recuperating. “Whether or not he’ll make Ascot will be just determined on how he progresses now. It’s a shame. “He must have banged a hind leg and has had a couple of chips removed off his hocks.
A terrific start at stud for Mehmas is capped by the win of Supremacy in the Middle Park Stakes!
